About
Fans in search of toe-tapping, brass-honking, high-energy swing revival need look no further than Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. The slick, stylish group have always been as tight as a drum on record, but their live performances are even more impressive, inciting furious dancing among veteran and novice swing dancers alike. Dressed to the nines in their trademark zoot suits and brandishing upbeat favorites like "Go Daddy-O" and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit," Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will take the stage with more energy than ever on their upcoming tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was formed in Southern California in 1989 by frontman Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren. After self-releasing their eponymous debut album in 1994, the band got their big break when their songs "Go-Daddy-O," "Mr. Pinstripe Suit," and "You & Me & The Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" were featured in the 1996 cult film classic Swingers. The popularity boost that followed landed them a deal with Capitol Records, resulting in a string of swinging albums that included Americana Deluxe (1998) and Save My Soul (2003). In addition to performing in the 1999 Super Bowl half-time show, the band has shared the stage with some of the world's leading symphony orchestras, including the LA Phil and the San Francisco Symphony. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy fans have plenty to look forward to as the boys hit the road for another electric round of shows.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"These guys are one of the slickest units touring today. They deliver to goods every night and watching the interaction on stage is really the cherry on top. Everything a professional touring band should be."
"...if you like big band music you will never see better players and/or performers! Truly amazing players and Scott the lead singer was spot on as always!"
"As good as the recordings are, they are even better live! The lead singer, Scotty, has a unique voice, great style, and a charming attitude. The band was masterful and tight."

Rating: 5 out of 5 BBVD- Fantastic as always!
by TheLizzle on 10/11/09Trump Marina - Atlantic CityI've seen BBVD several times over the last 13 years and as always, they put on a fantastic show. They played a variety of songs from their latest release "How Big Can You Get: The Cab Calloway Tribute", including Hey Now, The Reefer Man and the staple Minnie the Moocher. The set featured their own tried and true Mr. Pinstripe Suit, Mambo Swing, etc. Full of energy and engaging the audience, BBVD excels at putting on a show, all while making the music the main event.

Rating: 5 out of 5 This was one great show!
by bb48195 on 9/17/09The Ark - Ann ArborThis was an excellent show at a nice cozy place, The Ark. The group interacted with the audience during the show and afterwards came out and sat at tables to sign autographs and talk with the people. They were very appreciated and friendly. If you like Jazz and the big band sounds, you have to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

by Whotee on 7/23/09Birchmere - AlexandriaCan you say happy smiling faces, not a frown in the place. This is one of the most entertaining groups touring today. Have been a fan of BBVD for over a decade, and the continuity of the group shows. These guys are truely friends and show men loving every minute of their performance. The setting the dress and stage performance was over the top. Something I'll never forget....... Don't miss this show

by JackiG on 7/22/09Wildhorse Saloon - NashvilleI never heard of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy until I was trying to find something fun to do in Nashville, and now, I'm an instant fan! The music was fabulous and the group was entertaining and engaging. I couldn't take my eyes off of them for even a moment. BBVD blends true musical talent and entertainment. If you're looking for a memorable night of music, dancing and fun- they're the group for you!
Rating: 4 out of 5 BBVD Still Swings
by HugeGroove on 7/21/09Birchmere - AlexandriaGreat set. Reminded me of the old days in Los Feliz. The band still has that strong charisma and the guys were strong on the horns. It was a bit weird to see BBVD w/o any dancing but I guess that can't be helped at the Birchmere. Service was actually better than I remember but the food could still be better. Overall, though, a great show at a cool little venue.
