Big Bad Voodoo Daddy

Grab the chance to see this electrifying contemporary Swing Revival band live and free! From ’40s swing to Cab Calloway, boogie woogie to New Orleans blues, its rhythm section is beat only by its horns – or vice versa. “Go Daddy-O,” “Mr. Pinstripe Suit,” “The Jumpin’ Jive” – it doesn’t get better than this.
