On Friday, November 14th, 2025 the Community Center for the Performing Arts proudly welcomes The Stinkfoot Orchestra featuring Napoleon Murphy Brock to the WOW Hall. The Stinkfoot Orchestra, featuring the legendary Napoleon Murphy
Brock, will be returning to WOW Hall on Friday, November 14th. This critically
acclaimed act has been leaving it's mark up and down the west coast since the summer of
2022 – delighting existing fans of Zappa's music and turning on an entirely new generation
to the musical complexity, biting social commentary and humorous musings of one of the
20
th century's most prolific composers.
Supported by an onslaught of 6 horns, tuned percussion and 4 vocalists, Brock brings his
unparalleled energy and charisma to the stage with every show. Together, the ensemble
delivers a performance that spans more than 3 decades of Zappa's music, pulling material
from early Mothers of Invention through the late 1980's, and presents the music with
power, authenticity and musical prowess – all served with a healthy dose of humorous
stage antics
There is no greater testament to the respect that SFO have garnered than the number of
Zappa alumni who have shown the band their support and encouragement. Arthur Barrow,
Ray White, Bruce Fowler, Ike Willis and Lisa Popeil are just a few of those who have
shared the stage with the band since their inception – all of whom come away with the
same reaction. In a recent radio interview with Zappa's prolific trombonist of 3 decades,
Bruce Fowler, the horn player simplified his thoughts on the band to 3 words “They get
it...”
If you have managed to catch them on one of their previous trips to Eugene, we're certain
that you get it too.
