The Z3 To Be Joined By Guests During June Residency

The Z3, a band consisting of Kung Fu guitarist Tim Palmieri, keyboardist Beau Sasser, drummer Bill Carbone of Max Creek and Zappa band alumni Ed Mann are known for their funky takes on Frank Zappa material. In June, the quartet will play a series of shows at Pacific Standard in New Haven.

The Z3 featuring Ed Mann’s five-show residency takes place each Tuesday in June and accordingly has been dubbed “Tuesday Night Frankover.” Guests are expected to join the band during the residency including members of moe., Dopapod, Consider the Source, Kung Fu and Max Creek.

The Z3 featuring Ed Mann will return to Bad Doberan, Germany to perform at The Zappanale festival this July. They’ll be using their residency to debut and perfect new material for their Zappanale set and also as an avenue by which to collaborate with friends who share their love of Frank Zappa’s music. Each week will feature a full set of the Z3 featuring Ed Mann followed by a set augmented by special guests.
