Throughout Mike Keneally’s three decades in music he has refused to be categorized. The San Diego native is a guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, percussionist, bandleader, producer and most recently, National Music Director for the Paul Green School of Rock Music. In 1987, Keneally was hired to replace Steve Vai on “stunt guitar” in Frank Zappa’s band and went on to appear on classic live albums like Broadway the Hard Way and The Best Band You Never Heard in Your Life before Zappa’s death in 1993.
