Big Bad Voodoo Daddy Keeps the Swing Alive After More Than 30 Years

When grunge ruled the airwaves and flannel was practically a uniform, seven guys in vintage suits, slicked-back hair and a whole lot of brass crashed the party. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy wasn’t interested in following the musical trends of the ’90s. Instead, the band reached back nearly a century, dusted off swing and jazz, and gave it a punk-rock pulse.
