BIG BAD VOODOO DADDY bring their big-band fusion of classic American sounds from jazz, swing, to Dixieland to the WoodSongs Stage for one incredible night of music. Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at Los Angeles’ Brown Derby nightclub, BBVD’s irresistible live show and aggressive, musically perceptive approach has proven them over time to be the singular standout among the numerous bands that launched the Nineties swing revival. BBVD’s originals “You & Me and the Bottle Makes Three (Tonight)” and “Go Daddy-O” were massive hits and pushed the band to the multi platinum status. Career milestones include performing in the Super Bowl half-time show, writing theme music for ESPN and network television, and performing for three American presidents. The band’s eighth studio album How Big Can You Get on Vanguard Records is a tribute to Cab Calloway and captures the essence of an American icon in a rowdy celebration of musicianship, mischief, genius, street smarts, and fun.

ZACH BROCK is a Lexington native who received a global musical education in Chicago and now resides in NYC. He has been lionized as "the great bright hope for jazz violin" by the Chicago Tribune. His wide-ranging professional accomplishments place him in the company of today's leading "indie jazz" innovators. Zach will be performing solo-violin on this very special, adventurous WoodSongs broadcast.
