Project/Object: the music of frank zappa....

Project/Object, founded in the mid 1990s by guitarist André Cholmondeley, is the longest running alumni-based Zappa tribute in the world. Over the past twenty years they have proudly hosted onstage more Zappa alumni than anyone other than Zappa himself. Their legendary tours of the USA, Canada, and Europe have helped pave the way for a rich variety of excellent, contemporary Zappa tributes.

This tour features our longtime touring partner and perennial Zappa fan favorite IKE WILLIS. Also on board for the first time since 2004: our dear friend, synthesizer legend and as Ike calls him "my big brother"... DON PRESTON!

This tour will of course feature material both men recorded with The Mothers Of Invention 1966-1974 (Don) and The Frank Zappa band 1978-1988 (Ike), as well as material they perhaps didn't play on initially, but performed live with Zappa. Some of them are just songs the guys enjoy playing! Either way -- don't miss this special combination of beloved Zappa Alumni, who just happen to be old friends, and touring pals with P/O way back.

In this, the 50 year Anniversary since Zappa's debut album FREAK OUT, we once again humbly give THANKS and pay tribute to the enormous body of work he left.

THANK YOU FRANK ZAPPA. 1940-1993
