Big Bad VooDoo Daddy Swingin' Holiday Party
Friday, December 5, 2014 8pm
21+ show
2014 marks the 21st Anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo
Daddy's remarkable arrival onto the music scene. In it's first
years, having secured their legendary residency at the Derby
nightclub in Los Angeles, they reminded the world—in the
middle of the grunge era, no less—that it was still cool to
swing, big band style. Today the high-energy nine-piece
ensemble continues the party and takes things to the next
level with the release of RATTLE THEM BONES. The
follow-up to the much lauded 2009 release, How Big Can
You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway, Rattle Them Bones
still urges their millions of fans worldwide to shake and move
to their inimitable grooves while also expanding their
horizons with new musical inspiration and influence.
The intensity of the Calloway project helped the band further
hone it's ability to honor the great musicians and music of
the past while pushing the genre forward through
interpretation and vision. Leader Scotty Morris has called
that experience “The greatest musical education possible,
and one that again solidified the brotherhood of the band.”
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy hit pop music superstardom with
their appearance in front of millions during the halftime show
of the 1999 Super Bowl, while their 2003 New Orleans
inspired album, Save My Soul, shifted focus to playing
theaters, performing arts centers, and large outdoor venues
to selling out shows at the Hollywood Bowl, Walt Disney
Concert Hall, Lincoln Center, Chastain Park and Constitution
Hall, to name just a few. The band often plays more than
150 shows a year and has appeared as special guests with
many of the great American symphony orchestras including
the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Atlanta Symphony Orchestra,
National Symphony Orchestra, and U.S. Air Force Band.
Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 21 at 10am.
