The following description was submitted by the event organizer.

As the iconic frontman for Frank Zappa's most infamous 1970's ensemble, Napoleon Murphy Brock helped breathe life into many of Frank's most enduring compositions throughout four albums, including what many consider Zappa's greatest live release, Roxy and Elsewhere. Decades later, the Grammy Award-winning San Jose native's voice and performance are as strong as ever. Still boasting a 4-octave range, Brock's voice brings an immediate sense of familiarity to the music of the Stinkfoot Orchestra.

Employing a 6-piece horn section, tuned percussion and four vocalists, this ensemble pulls no punches – delivering the intricacies and eccentricities of Frank's music with power, authenticity and musical prowess. That said, no Zappa concert would be complete without a healthy dose of Frank's sardonic wit – and the Stinkfoot Orchestra does not skimp on this vital ingredient. Incorporating props, costumes, stage vignettes and audience participation, the band goes the extra mile with every performance to create a complete entertainment experience that leaves even the pickiest Zappa fan pining for more.
