Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
Waterfront Blues Festival
Portland, OR.
July 5, 2015
I'm not going to be able to record as much this year. I'll try to get all the major acts and some favorites I've had over the years. Again, KBOO FM is broadcasting the show live. KBOO is an all volunteer station. All proceeds from the festival go to the Oregon Food Bank so please donate if you can. They also have a live stream on the internet. It's an MP3 stream. My set up is an old Technics Quartz Tuner> H2 Zoom> SD card> computer> TLH.
�Unless any of [the audience] were lucky enough to see Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington or Cab Calloway in person, they probably never before had seen swing music played with such fervor, precision or, most importantly, perfection.� ~NEWS PRESSNOW
Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at LA�s Derby nightclub, BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY, named famously after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins, has sold millions of records while their music has appeared in hundreds of movies and television shows. They have sold out concerts from the Hollywood Bowl to Lincoln Center and appeared on TV shows from Leno to Conan, Dancing with The Stars to Superbowl XXXIII.
Currently touring in celebration of their 22nd Anniversary, the new kings of swing�made famous by their notable singles, �Go Daddy-O�, �You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight�, and �Mr. Pinstripe Suit� � are known for their swinging styles of the �40s and �50s complete with Rat Pack lingo and zoot suits. BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY�S fusion of classic American sounds from the jazz, swing, Dixieland and big-band traditions makes for an irresistible celebration. The high-energy nine-piece ensemble takes the party to the next level with their recent album release, RATTLE THEM BONES.
