Swing Band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Concerts Schedules
rowena on Mar 3rd 2009
The band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy helped to bring about a swing/jazz revival in the 1990s. Drawing on musicians like The Rat Pack and Duke Ellington, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy revived the big band sound of the 1940s and 1950s. They even wear the notorious zoot suits to accompany their music. Their swing music has been met with great acceptance as their concerts have sold out tickets all over the United States, Asia, Australia, and Europe.
In 1989, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy was put together by guitarist Scotty Morris in Ventura, California. Originally, he formed a jazz, swing, and blues trio. This trio included drummer Kurt Sodergren. Scotty named the band after a meeting with one of his idols, Albert Collins. Scotty heard his favorite guitarist, Albert Collins, playing in a club one night, and after the show, he asked Collins for an autograph. Collins signed it ‘To Scotty, the Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.’ Scotty liked the name so much, he named his band after it.
