 From our very first show at a backyard party, until today, nearly 3000 shows later, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s unending goal has always been to play good music, and have fun while doing it.

 April 25th, 2018 marks the 25th anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s first show on April 25th, 1993 at that backyard party in Ventura California.

We couldn't have done it without you.

From those partygoers at our first show, 25 years ago, to the folks we continue to play for, all year long,

Thank you!

Together for over 25 years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy — famously named after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins — has appeared in concert venues across the world, sold millions of records, and had their music appear in hundreds of movies and television shows. 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 it's 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.

The late, great Ben Schrock (in blue) on his birthday, August 16th, 2001, backstage at B.B. Kings in Times Square. Ben was our merchandise sales person for many years. And was one of the nicest people you could possibly know. He is sorely missed. Happy Birthday Ben! **25 years of BBVD**
