Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy will bring their trademark big band sound to The Orleans
Showroom on December 29 and 30 for “Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s Wild and Swinging
Holiday Party.”
Following
the paths of big band leaders like Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and Duke
Ellington, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s brassy, upbeat sound has been embraced both
by older fans nostalgic for the music of their youth and by legions of younger
fans enamored of the elegance and sophistication of the Big Band era.
Big
Bad Voodoo Daddy arrived on the music scene in 1993 with their legendary
residency at the Brown Derby Nightclub in Los Angeles. In 1996, the band
rocketed to fame after performing “You & Me and the Bottle Makes Three
(Tonight)” and “Go Daddy-O” in the hit movie, “Swingers.”
Since
then, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s music has been featured in countless films and
television shows, including “Despicable Me” and “Family Guy,” and has even been
used for Olympic gymnastic and figure skating routines, including Carly
Patterson’s 2004 gold medal gymnastics routine. The group has performed at high
profile venues and events including the Billboard Music Awards, the White House
and during the halftime shows of both the Super Bowl and the Orange Bowl.
The
band has performed on numerous television shows, such as "The Tonight Show
with Jay Leno," "Live with Regis" and "Late Night with
Conan O’Brien." To date, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has released ten studio
albums, including a Christmas album, “It Feels Like Christmas Time,” in 2013.
The
seven-man group is comprised of Scotty Morris, lead vocals and guitar; Kurt
Sodergren, percussion; Dirk Shumaker, double bass and vocals; Andy Rowley,
baritone saxophone and vocals; Glen Marhevka, trumpet; Karl Hunter, saxophones
and clarinet; and Joshua Levy, piano and arranger.
Showtime
is 8 p.m. Tickets are available starting from $19.95, plus tax and convenience
fees, and can be purchased at any Boyd Gaming Box Office, by calling
