A group of local bands and artists join together for a night of music from the legendary Frank Zappa. Bands include UZO, The Heavy Push, Husky Pants & the Rail. Other participants will include members of herbie, Green Onions, The Andy Mowatt Trio, and more, ending the evening with an all-star jam.

Husky Pants & the Rail

Husky Pants and the Rail is a jam-type band located in Central PA. Blending a sound of good time bar jam music with funk, jazz, and rock, HPR pulls from a large catalogue of original songs and tasteful covers to get you up and dancing! HPR was conceived of the long-time relationship between acoustic loop master and songwriter Aaron Daniel Gaul, former members of the Central PA band Spotus, and keyboardist Joel Toluba.

UZO

UZO is well known for their explosive high-energy live shows leaving audiences floored by their performance and craving more. Combining Funk, Jazz and Heavy Fusion influences, their instrumental mind-bending compositions take you on a musical rollercoaster that leaves you asking your psychiatrist for more Prozac. UZO/Uncle Otter has shared the stage with many bands such as: The Jimmy Herring Band, The Disco Biscuits, Kung Fu, American Babies, Viperhouse, RAQ, Project Object, Steve Kimock Band, Bernie Worell, Brothers Past, The Codetalkers, Juggling Suns, Smoking Grass, and many more.

The Heavy Push

The Heavy Push is a power trio featuring up-and-coming young guitarist Joey Dougherty and seasoned local music scene veterans Mike Dinse (The Green Onions, Corty Byron Band) on bass and Ffej Herb (herbie) on drums. The band performs a variety of 60s and 70s classic rock as well as jam-band and progressive rock-influenced original compositions. Conceptual Continuity is the brainchild of drummer Ffej Herb, who is a huge Zappa freak in his own right, although all three members of the band are huge fans of Zappa's music. As a matter of fact, the band has never played a show that didn't feature at least one Zappa tune in its setlist! Nineteen-year-old Dougherty is a gifted, well-rounded musician (not only a guitarist) who is poised to make a big dent in the local music scene and beyond! He will be attending Berklee School of Music in the fall of 2014.
