After finishing his Via Zammata' shows this fall, Zappa will ramp up for 2017's 50th anniversary of Frank Zappa's first album with his Mothers of Invention, Freak Out, with a new way of carrying on his dad's legacy and the younger Zappa's own integrity as a newly rediscovered solo artist. "I think I might just open for myself," he says. "It's the same band. I can play my own stuff for a while, then turn around and do Frank's classics - strike that balance. It's all just keeping it in the family."
