He, who was the band's guitar technician for decades, has replaced Dusty Hill, who passed away in July 2021, and forms the rhythm section with drummer Frank Beard. For their concert program, the bearded trio can choose from numerous hits and classics such as "Gimme All Your Lovin' ", "Got Me Under Pressure", "Tush", "Legs", "Sharp Dressed Man", "La Grange", "Rough Boy" or "Cheap Sunglasses" in the 55th year of their career. There could also be samples from ZZ Top's first studio album with new song material since 2012, which guitarist/vocalist Billy Gibbons has already announced in recent interviews.
Tickets for an evening of virtuoso, down-to-earth blues, boogie and rock from this legendary act are available in advance.
ZZ Top, who were inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, have been a constant, touring force in the international live business for decades. The group, whose name is a tribute to blues singer Z.Z. Hill and singer/guitarist B.B. King, can count on a large, loyal fan base. Their extraordinary stage qualities are impressively documented by concert recordings such as "Tonite At Midnight: Live! Greatest Hits From Around The World", "Live At Montreux 2013" and "Live in Texas". The Grammy-nominated Netflix documentary "That Little Ol' Band From Texas" (2019), for which the soundtrack "Raw" was released in 2022, caused quite a stir.
In a concert review, the renowned English daily newspaper The Guardian quoted a meaningful sentence from Dusty Hill that succinctly describes ZZ Top in concert: "Little movement, lots of impact!"
