ZZ Top a/k/a That Little Ol Band From Texas coming to DPAC on November 21, 2021. ZZ Top lay undisputed claim to being the longest running major rock band with original personnel intact and, in 2004, the Texas trio was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Of course, there are only three of them Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill, Frank Beard -- but its still a remarkable achievement that theyre still very much together after almost 50 years of rock, blues, and boogie on the road and in the studio. Yeah, says Billy, guitarist extraordinaire, were the same three guys, bashing out the same three chords. With the release of each of their albums the band has explored new ground in terms of both their sonic approach and the material theyve recorded. ZZ TOP is the same but always changing. ZZ TOPs music is always instantly recognizable, eminently powerful, profoundly soulful and 100% Texas American in derivation. The bands support for the blues is unwavering both as interpreters of the music and preservers of its legacy. It was ZZ TOP that celebrated founding father Muddy Waters by turning a piece of scrap timber than had fallen from his sharecroppers shack into a beautiful guitar, dubbed the Muddywood. This totem was sent on tour as a fundraising focus for The Delta Blues Museum in Clarksdale, Mississippi, site of Robert Johnsons famed Crossroads encounter with the devil. ZZ TOPs support and link to the blues remains as rock solid as the music they continue to play. They have sold millions of records over the course of their career, have been officially designated as Heroes of The State of Texas, have been referenced in countless cartoons and sitcoms and are true rock icons but, against all odds, theyre really just doing what theyve always done. Theyre real and theyre surreal and theyre ZZ TOP.
