SUMMARY:Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
DESCRIPTION:April\, 2024\, marks the 31 year anniversary of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s remarkable arrival onto the music scene. \nSince its formation in the early nineties in Ventura\, California\, the band has toured virtually nonstop\, performing on average over 150 shows a year\, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music\, with sales of over 2 million albums to date. Early on\, during their legendary residency at the Derby nightclub in Los Angeles\, they reminded the world\, in the midst of the grunge era no less\, that it was still cool to swing. The band\, co-founded by singer Scotty Morris and drummer Kurt Sodergren\, was at the forefront of the swing revival of that time\, blending a vibrant fusion of the classic American sounds of jazz\, swing\, and dixieland\, with the energy and spirit of contemporary culture.

Simply put\, it is the album EVERYONE wants to hear. Lez Zeppelin presents Physical Graffiti from start to finish in all of its majesty and diversity to celebrate the 50 year anniversary of its release. From the mysticism of Kashmir to the rockin’ funk of Trampled Underfoot to the progressive elegance of Ten Years Gone\, Lez Zeppelin delivers passionate\, note-for-note renditions of all 15-songs. Accompanied by a provocative and uniquely curated multimedia presentation\, this full-length\, immersive experience digs deep into the heart and soul of one of rock’s greatest albums. \nLez Zeppelin-All Girls. All Zeppelin. \nLez Zeppelin is a phenomenon. Since their formation in 2004\, the group has stunned audiences all over the world with the musicianship\, passion and gender-bending audacity they bring to the music of Led Zeppelin. Unlike the typical “tribute band” Lez Zeppelin does not seek to imitate. Rather\, they are a she-incarnation of the original. With swagger\, intensity and virtuosity\, these four women cover the entire canon\, performing hits\, deep tracks\, epic compositions and acoustic numbers with utmost authenticity\, as if they’d written the music themselves. Jimmy Page described it best after attending a Lez Zeppelin show in London: “They played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”
