Employing a 6-piece horn section, tuned percussion and 4 vocalists, this ensemble pulls no punches – delivering the intricacies and eccentricities of Frank’s music with power, authenticity and musical prowess. That said, no Zappa concert would be complete without a healthy dose of Frank’s sardonic wit – and the Stinkfoot Orchestra does not skimp on this vital ingredient. Incorporating props, costumes, stage vignettes and audience participation, the band goes the extra mile with every performance to create a complete entertainment experience that leaves even the pickiest Zappa fan pining for more.
If you were able to catch one of their previous performances in Portland, you know to expect a different show each time (and you also know what an amazing show to expect).
“The Stinkfoot Orchestra… admirably delivered all the musical virtuosity, compositional non-conformity, and satire of American culture that Frank Zappa distilled within his extensive oeuvre. The impression left upon driving home from this experience was one of deep appreciation mixed with laughter and amazement.” – Ted Silverman, Jambase
