Swing outfit Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has extended its in-progress tour well into 2010 as the group continues supporting its recent release, "How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway."
On the road since July, the California-based outfit will continue the North American trek with a performance tonight (12/2) in Columbia, MO. Since last check, 25 performances have been added to the itinerary and more are expected in the coming weeks. The current schedule wraps up with a July 10 show in Williams Bay, WI. Details are shown below.
The big band-inspired group released the 11-track tribute album "How Big Can You Get?: The Music of Cab Calloway" in April. The record, which follows 2004's "Everything You Want for Christmas," marked the band's first recording in five years.
"I was 11 years old, and I was blown away; he had so much energy and so many great musicians," trumpeter Glen "The Kid" Marhevka said in a prepared statement regarding Cab Calloway. "This album concept seemed a perfect fit for us, because of Cab's visuals, performances and intense energy. As soon as we rehearsed and played these songs live, it was musically challenging and refreshing to all of us."
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy rose to fame in the late '90s with hit singles "You & Me & the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight (Baby)" and "Go Daddy-O," from the group's 1998 self-titled album.
