ABSOLUTELY FREAKED! to Premiere at Open Stage of Harrisburg in January 2019

Open Stage of Harrisburg and Joseph Osborne Productions invite you to join them for the world premiere of ABSOLUTELY FREAKED - an experiential rock concert featuring the early works of Frank Zappa. Authorized by the Zappa estate and with arrangements and music direction by Joseph Osborne and direction by Chris Gibson, this world premiere showcases Frank Zappa's early works from 1966 to 1972 - including the classic Zappa and the Mother of Invention songs "Plastic People", "Dirty Love", "Who Are The Brain Police", "Going To Montana", "Brown Shoes Don't Make It" and more.

ABSOLUTELY FREAKED! was conceived and developed to provide audience members with an intimate and fierce experience - filled with art - music, graphic art, visual art and lighting. The concert was also designed and arranged to showcase various performers rather than being a tribute band. ABSOLUTELY FREAKED! features Stacy Werner, T.J. Creedon, Hanniel Sindelar, Nicholas Werner, Chris Gibson, T.J. Cole, Anthony Pieruccini, Joseph Osborne and Jeremy Blouch. Graphic and visual designs are by Bri Dow and Rachel Landon. Promotional art by Ryan Spahr.

Zappa's early works were groundbreaking and integrated various genres into his music - from doo-wop to rock to jazz - while creating songs that featured lyrics that ranged from humorous to eccentric and from provocative to shocking. ABSOLUTELY FREAKED! provides the experimental and experiential vibe of Zappa and The Mothers of Invention, and is a tribute to Zappa's transformative performances without being a tribute band.

Performance dates are January 10, 11, 12 and 13 at 7:30pm. All performances are at Open Stage of Harrisburg, a regional professional performing arts facility located at 25 North Court Street, Harrisburg PA.

Ticket prices range from $25 to $35 and can be purchased at www.openstage.com or www.Eventbrite.com. For additional information and tickets call 717-232-6736 or go to https://www.openstagehbg.com/freaked
