STINKFOOT ORCHESTRA

The Stinkfoot Orchestra, featuring the legendary Napoleon Murphy Brock, will be returning to San Diego on Saturday, August 15th. 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 20th 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 renowned trombonist of 3 decades, Bruce Fowler, the horn player simplified his thoughts on the band to 3 words  “They get it...” Local Prog-rockers Fistfights with Wolves open.

FISTFIGHTS WITH WOLVES

San Diego based progressive rock eight piece, Fistfights With Wolves blurs the boundaries of classical chamber music and hard rock by weaving epic narratives with their development driven compositions. Two drummers and two singers combine forces with violin, bass, guitar, and keyboards for a diverse sonic experience that has been described by critics as “Totally artistic”, “Dynamic, emotional, and moving,” “Smart, and truly very good,” and “Beautiful”.
