Frank Zappa once said, “If you want an education, go to the library.” On Thursday, August 1, his proteges are taking his advice to heart, with Zappa tribute act Banned From Utopia and the Paul Green Rock Academy bringing the authentic Zappa experience to the Trefz Forum at The Westport Library.

Doors open at 6 pm and the show runs until 9 pm.

Two types of tickets are available for the event: a general admission ticket for $20 and a VIP Meet and Greet ticket for $60 that grants early admission, one hour before doors, to a relaxed, informal setting where you can enjoy the company of Banned From Utopia members Robert Martin, Ray White, and Scott Thunes, all of whom previously played in Zappa’s band. No queue or quick photo op here — ask questions, listen to stories, take pictures, have a cocktail, or just hang out with the band members that toured with Zappa in his prime.
