Holding the title of the musician who spent the most years making music with Frank, Willis' unmistakeable baritone helped breathe life into many of Zappa's most enduring compositions over the course of 10 years and 10+ albums. Decades later, Ike's voice is as strong as ever and brings an immediate sense of familiarity to the music of the Stinkfoot Orchestra.Employing a 6-piece horn section, tuned percussion and 4 vocalists, this ensemble pulls no punches -delivering the intricacies and eccentricities of Frank's music with power, authenticity and musical prowess. Founded by 35-year veteran of the South Bay music scene, Nick Chargin, the Stinkfoot Orchestra spent most of the pandemic honing their craft - finally bringing their show to the stage in September of 2021. Bolstered by a few articles that brought international attention, 2022 saw the band quickly grow a fanbase throughout the Pacific Northwest – exposing new audiences to Zappa's music and wowing existing Zappaphiles with well orchestrated arrangements that harken back to Zappa's (last) 1988 touring ensemble.“The Stinkfoot Orchestra admirably delivered all the musical virtuosity, compositional non-conformity,and satire of American culture that Frank Zappa distilled within his extensive oeuvre. The impression leftupon driving home from this experience was one of deep appreciation mixed with laughter and amazement.” - Ted Silverman, JambaseSafety ProceduresThe health and safety of our guests, staff and community is the highest priority at the Miners Foundry.
