The Stinkfoot Orchestra, featuring the legendary Napoleon Murphy Brock, return to the Alberta Rose! This critically acclaimed act has been leaving it’s mark up and down the west coast since the summer of 2022 – delighting existing fans of Frank Zappa‘s music and turning on an entirely new generation to the musical complexity, biting social commentary and humorous musings of one of the 20th century’s most prolific composers.

Supported by an onslaught of 6 horns, tuned percussion and 4 vocalists, Brock brings his unparalleled energy and charisma to the stage with every show. Together, the ensemble delivers a performance that spans more than 3 decades of Zappa’s music, pulling material from early Mothers of Invention through the late 1980’s, and presents the music with power, authenticity and musical prowess – all served with a healthy dose of humorous stage antics.
There is no greater testament to the respect that SFO have garnered than the number of Zappa alumni who have shown the band their support and encouragement. Arthur Barrow, Ray White, Bruce Fowler, Ike Willis and Lisa Popeil are just a few of those who have shared the stage with the band since their inception – all of whom come away with the same reaction.
