In a recent interview with The Press Democrat, Gibbons shared insights into the unique experiences each project brings. He stated, “Each group, ZZ and the BFG?s, serve up different players, varying approaches, and subtly distinct sounds. That diversity provides an opportunity for us to explore and engage in spontaneous musical moments that feel almost supernatural.” He elaborated, “Performing with ZZ Top feels like being amongst dear friends; whereas the BFG?s experience is akin to exploring local sounds without following any predetermined path. This journey of curiosity yields remarkable rewards!”
