ZZ Top is live at Firelake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma for one night only. Tickets go on sale on June 23, 2023!

 

ZZ Top is touring their new album from the original lineup of ZZ Top -- Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard, and Dusty Hill. The album, released through Shelter Records/BMG was recorded at Gruene Hall in Texas, in conjunction with the GRAMMY-nominated feature documentary ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas. The film’s director Sam Dunn sought a means to visually convey how the band made albums at its inception with all three members in the same room at the same time.

 

The classic honky-tonk setting of Gruene Hall established back in 1878, was chosen for an unfettered, roots-oriented recording session that is chronicled in the documentary. Released by Banger Films, the feature offers insight into the history of the band’s classic Gibbons/Beard/Hill incarnation.

 

The new album’s liner notes by Gibbons and Beard note of the RAW sessions, “..it was, in a very real way, a return to our roots. Just us and the music, no audience of thousands, no concession stands, no parking lot social hour, no phalanx of tour busses. Just us.  We knew right then it was a very special circumstance, all of us in the same place at the same time, and what a time it most certainly was!”
