Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Casts Spell Over the Audience in Cerritos

From the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts:

CERRITOS, CA – Big Bad Voodoo Daddy electrifies the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts (CCPA) on Saturday, October 29, 8:00 p.m. in Louie Louie Louie. Tickets, which start at $45, are available at the CCPA Ticket Office, cerritoscenter.com, or by calling (562) 467-8818.

With its breakthrough role in the 1996 hit comedy Swingers, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy intoxicated audiences and cast a spell on the American contemporary Swing scene, quickly becoming one of the genre’s hottest acts. In Louie Louie Louie, the ensemble celebrates the music of Louis Armstrong, Louis Jordan, and Louie Prima.

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s performance in Swingers led to a recording contract for the group’s first album, the Grammy-nominated Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, which reached certified Gold status. The band is particularly noted for its high-octane performances and the hits Go Daddy-O, You & Me & the Bottle Makes Three Tonight (Baby), and Mr. Pinstripe Suit.

The troupe followed up its first hit album with This Beautiful Life, which showcased classics such as Ol’ MacDonald and Big and Bad. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's album Everything You Want for Christmas received glowing reviews from Rolling Stone, which praised the band for infusing “its retro hep-cat cool with a dose of Yule spirit.” The band's other albums include How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway and Rattle Them Bones.

After more than a decade of nonstop touring, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy continues to treat Swing music fans to its stirring concoction of brassy swinging horns, crooning vocals, and wild Jazz rhythms. The band members, who are often seen sporting their stage “uniform” of fedoras and classic gentlemanly suits, consistently pack concert halls around the country.
