From their impeccable suits to a boisterous and swaggering sound, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s all-original lineup delivers a vibrantly contemporary fusion of swing revival and traditional jazz.
Early on, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy reminded the world—in the midst of the grunge era no less—that it was still cool to swing. Bolstered by their appearance in the cult classic film Swingers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was at the forefront of ’90s swing revival.
Since then, their efforts to promote and revitalize swing music have become much more than a simple tribute. Taking inspiration from the creators of this uniquely American art form, the band’s original horn-infused music and legendary high-energy show introduces the genre to younger generations while remaining cognizant and respectful of the music’s rich legacy.
For fans of The Brian Setzer Orchestra, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, Squirrel Nut Zippers, and Royal Crown Revue, as well as traditional jazz artists like Cab Calloway and Louis Armstrong.
