Captain Cheesebeard happily emerged years ago as a Frank Zappa tribute project and has since developed and grown into a unique fusion ensemble. After years of respectfully interpreting Zappa's music, bandleader, Johan De Coninck decided that the time had come to go beyond and to start writing original compositions as a group. Since the stylistic direction was given by their previous project, it seems that Captain Cheesebeard has taken it upon themselves to contribute to the global music family and to write original music that could, nonetheless have very well been on the next Zappa record. That being noted, this talented group is developing their own momentum and it will be exciting to see and hear where this fantastic journey goes.
