Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will perform at Trine University's T. Furth Center for Performing
Arts on Aug. 7.
Cats who dig jazz and swing are in for a cool treat when Big Bad Voodoo Daddy blows
into Trine University's T. Furth Center for Performing Arts on Friday, Aug. 7.
The concert kicks off at 8 p.m., with doors to the Ryan Concert Hall opening one hour
prior.
Performing their own interpretations of swing music of the 1940s and 1950s and original
songs in a similar style, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has appeared in concert venues across
the world, sold millions of records and had their music appear in hundreds of movies
and television shows.
Scotty Morris formed the band in Ventura, California, in 1989, after he met Texas
blues guitar legend Albert Collins at one of Collins’ concerts.
“He signed my poster ‘To Scotty, the big bad voodoo daddy.’ I thought it was the greatest
name I had ever heard on one of the greatest musical nights of my life,” Morris said.
With sold-out concerts from the Hollywood Bowl to Lincoln Center, appearances with
many of the country's finest symphony orchestras, and television appearances ranging
from “Dancing with the Stars” to Superbowl XXXIII, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy continues
its decades-long mission to celebrate and revitalize jazz and swing music — America's
original musical art form — and bring joy to audiences around the world.
