Featuring Zip on guitar and vocal, backed by electric bass and drums, Blue Buzz is an innovative amalgam of Electric Blues, 60’s Rock, Neo-Psychedelia, Funk, and Fusion. Hints of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton’s Cream-era material, and Frank Zappa intermingle through reworked versions of classic blues hits and hidden treasures from the psychedelic rock renaissance of the late 60’s. Zip Dagger won awards in the 2013 and 2014 Houston Texas Art Car Parades (the world’s largest Art Car event), winning “Best Performance” in 2013 and “Best Music” in 2014 in performances each year in front of record-setting parade audiences of over 300,000.
