We DARE you to stay in your seat when this Biggest Baddest band takes the stage.

This year marks the 22nd 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,  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.”

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was made famous with notable singles, "Go Daddy-O", "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight," and "Mr. Pinstripe Suit" is known for their swinging styles of the '40s and '50s complete with Rat Pack lingo and zoot suits. Rattle Them Bones urges their millions of fans worldwide to shake and move to their inimitable grooves while also expanding their horizons forward with new musical inspiration and influence. Alternatively, 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.”
