• Talk about growing up with a difficult legacy. Dweezil Zappa, the eldest son of Frank Zappa, has crafted his own career in rock and roll, including learning to perform virtually all of his father’s hilarious but notoriously hard to play songs. He’ll be bringing an evening of full-tilt Zappa to the Rialto Theatre on Sunday, January 12th.
