Swing--it's an era of big band sounds that defined America from the 1920s to mid 1940s. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, best known as "America's favorite little big band," are bringing their style of swing and songs to the Coastal Bend to benefit student scholarships at Del Mar College.
Joining the band for an evening of symphonic swing is Maestro John Giordano and the Corpus Christi Symphony Orchestra.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's irresistible live show and aggressive, musically perceptive approach has proven them over time to be the singular standout among numerous bands that launched the 1990s swing revival. They have appeared in the Super Bowl half-time show, written theme music for ESPN and network television and performed for three American presidents. The band has also appeared numerous times on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Late Night with Conan O'Brian and Live with Regis & Kelly and wrote, performed and recorded the current theme song for the late night show Last Call with Carson Daly after appearing multiple times as the house band. During last season, they performed on the reality competition Dancing With the Stars.
