Dweezil Plays Dweezil

Considering his father was the late great psychedelic-jazz-prog space wizard, many might assume that his son Dweezil has some big shoes to fill. However, the prodigious guitarist and producer came into his own as a solo performer in his own right, mesmerizing audiences with his technical prowess on the axe. He's regularly on the road with the Zappa plays Zappa ensemble as well as the Experience Hendrix Tour.

Dweezil's 2015 album Via Zammatta was released to much critical buzz, his first solo release in over a decade. There are certainly echoes of his father throughout, particularly in its more humorous moments, but his own explorations of harmonic pop and progressive rock place him firmly in the spotlight.
