In the early 1970s, Frank Zappa performed in and around Erie, Pennsylvania a handful of times. Zappa, who was assiduous in recording live shows, taped all three of these performances, which included some unusual variation in his touring band. In 2020, Zappa archivist Joe Travers uncovered these recordings from his hometown and set about compiling a set that was recently released as Zappa/Erie, containing three entire shows. We’ll hear music from that recording as well as selections from I Am The Moon: 1. Crescent, the first of four albums from Tedeschi Trucks Band to be released in 2022.
