Join BBVD as they hit the stage in the Keystone Grand Ballroom on Friday, September 19th
WILKES-BARRE, PA – Bringing their contemporary Swing revival melodies all the way from So-Cal, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is set to grace the stage in the Keystone Grand Ballroom at Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs on September 19th at 8:00pm.
Tickets for this event will go on sale on July 11th and will be sold for $25.00 each through Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster customers may purchase tickets by logging on to ticketmaster.com; calling Ticketmaster’s national toll free Charge By Phone number 1.800.745.3000; or visiting any Ticketmaster outlet. Tickets are also available at the Mohegan Sun at Pocono Downs Box Office.
Since their arrival on the music scene in 1993 in a legendary residency at Los Angeles’ Brown Derby night club, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’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 90s Swing revival. The seven-man group forged a massively successful fusion of Classic American sounds from Jazz, Swing, Dixieland and Big-Band music, building their own songbook of original dance tunes and sixteen years later, BBVD is a veteran force that, to this day, adds new fans by the roomful every time they play. BBVD’s originals rocketed the group into its first phase of stardom when “You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)” and “Go Daddy-O” were featured in the 1996 indie film landmark Swingers. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, named famously after an autograph by Blues legend Albert Collins, sold more than two million copies of the albums Americana Deluxe and This Beautiful Life and received national critical acclaim while the band’s music has appeared in over sixty movies and television shows. For more information about Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, please visit their website and Facebook page.
