THE ZAPPA BAND OPENING FOR KING CRIMSON IN THE U.S….AND A NEW 1988 ZAPPA CONCERT RELEASE

News

Yeah, The Zappa Band are going to play seventeen shows with King Crimson in the U.S. in a couple of months from now. Yes I wish we were playing outside the U.S. too! But I’m highly grateful for every gig we’re getting. I’m starting to feel severely excited to get out and do some playing. Some aspects of coming out of hiding are unnerving. But getting onstage and playing some music isn’t one of those things.

The Zappa Band consists of Scott Thunes, Ray White, Robert Martin, Joe Travers, Jamie Kime, and me.

Music Is Our Friend Tour 2021

The Crimson band is the same three-drummer, four-non-drummer lineup that’s been making glowingly beautiful music live for a few years now. A truly wonderful ensemble.

Together it’s going to be a really, really good night of music (yes I treated myself to two “really”s there).

MK Live Dates July-October

Live, News

My lords and ladies!

There are a number of performances coming in the near future featuring myself inserted within a varied array of musical disciplines!

First a gig in Slovenia with SUPERHAMMERS (Stu Hamm, Chad Wackerman and myself) at the Beer and Flowers Festival in Lasko (played this fest with Satriani last year, so much fun; excited for my first performance with this trio!)

Then a couple of weeks of German dates with Jaan Wessman and Schroeder (formerly known as Mike Keneally & Friends, this trio is now formally identifed as THE MIKE KENEALLY REPORT. Because it’s a much better! Schroeder thought of it!)

Then there’s a show in Brazil with Joe Satriani but I still don’t see it announced anywhere so I’m not announcing it either, really!

Then I’m doing two days at GUITAR WORKSHOP PLUS at Seattle University – a performance and a clinic. Deep music diving into a bunch of my songs and other things!

Then a short but sweet series of California dates with the Beer For Dolphins quartet (me, Rick Musallam, Bryan Beller and Joe Travers). So happy about these shows!

Then in September, three dates with Extreme Cream at the Iridium in NYC, and in October a couple of nights at Progtoberfest III with Beer For Dolphins and The Don & Bunk show —

So much happening! Here are details!
