Flying Z is a DIY Labor of Love to the Punk Community

Flying Z is a DIY Labor of Love to the Punk Community

Tucked away in rural Benton City, Washington, you'll find Flying Z farm. It's the passion project of Bill Zipperer, who tells us it was his lifelong dream to create a music venue and support up-and-coming bands. Bill funds, manages, and upgrades the venue on his own dime, with support from the community – and it's attracted bands far and wide, from local staples to the greater Eastern Washington scene.
