Dan Zanes and Friends to perform at KU

The former frontman of Del Fuego, Dan Zanes, will bring his edgy, family-friendly music Oct. 8 to Kansas University.

Zanes has released four albums on his own record label, Festival Five Records. With musicians such as Debbie Harry and Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir and hits such as “House Party Time,” “Tennessee Wig Walk” and “Wabash Cannonball,” Zanes’ latest album, “House Party (2003),” is another hit with children and adults alike. “House Party” has been nominated for a Grammy.

Zanes’ performance will be at 11 a.m. at the Lied Center. A post-performance lunch with Dan Zanes and Friends will take place after the show in the Seymour Gallery. The luncheon cost is $5 for children and $10 for adults. Reservations are required by Monday. Please call the Lied Center Ticket Office at 864-2787.
