"High-octane, nitro-jive, swing." — Palo Alto Daily News
The Grammy-nominated swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy returns to Laxson with their high-energy performance, powerful horn playing, and a lively blend of 40s and 50s swing, complete with zoot-suits and fedoras. BBVD was featured in the hit film Swingers, did soundtracks for the popular TV series' Party of Five and The West Wing, performed for Presidents Bush (both of them) and Clinton, and rocked the Super Bowl halftime with Stevie Wonder and Gloria Estefan. Their modern version of swing covers songs inspired by Fats Domino, Louis Armstrong, and Cab Calloway.
