JaM Cellars presents Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Uptown

JaM Cellars presents Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Uptown Theatre on Friday, Sept. 1, at 8 p.m. This year is the 30th anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s arrival onto the music scene. Since its formation in the early ‘90s in Ventura, the band has performed an average of 150 shows a year and produced a sizable catalog of recorded music, with sales of more than 2 million albums.  Early on, they reminded the world that it was still cool to swing.  The band, co-founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time, blending the classic American sounds of jazz, swing and Dixieland, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture. The band’s music has appeared in countless films and television shows, including Swingers, The Wild, Despicable Me, Phineas & Ferb, Friends, Third Rock from the Sun, Ally McBeal and So You Think You Can Dance.
