ZZ Top at Greenhorn Creek
Angels Camp, CA....ZZ Top headlines at Ironstone tonight, but Drummer Frank Beard is a bit of a golf fanatic and arrived in town early to enjoy a round at Greenhorn Creek yesterday. Greenhorn Creek is running a contest on their facebook site for a pair of tickets that was generously provided by the famous visitor. Frank is known to be a scratch golfer, and often participates in tournaments and community events in his hometown of Richmond, Texas where he owns and operated the Top 40 Ranch. The trio of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard was founded in the late sixties and have been playing together ever since. Prior to ZZ Top, Frank and Dusty had been musical partners for years. Both were members of the two Dallas based groups - The Warlocks then The American Blues. Frank joined ZZ Top in 1969. Two months later, a new bass player was needed for the band. It was at that time that Frank called his longtime friend Dusty Hill to audition. The rest is musical history....
Frank is a happily married family man. He and his wife, Debbie, have twin boys. Frank also has a daughter by a previous marriage. Like Billy, Frank has a love for fast cars and in particular is a fan of Ferraris and has driven in sanctioned national auto races.
Tickets still available if you want to get out to the show tonight to see Frank, Billy and Dusty
