SUMMARY:Big Bad Voodoo Daddy's Wild and Swingin' Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:Since 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 two 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. \nAfter over 30 years\, 11 records\, over 3000 live shows\, and countless appearances in film and television\, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is showing no signs of slowing down\, and is looking forward to sharing its music with new and old fans alike. \nWolf Den

SUMMARY:Caravan of Thieves
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by the big band swing era\, Django Reinhardt and the Quintette du Hot Club de France\, absurd and macabre musical theater and early American folk music\, Caravan of Thieves took shape in the hearts and minds of Fuzz and Carrie\, the dynamic singing\, strumming and songwriting musical duo who formed the band in early 2008. They began by writing a handful of songs based on this concept and soon after\, filled out their sound with upright bass\, violin\, and an occasional accordion and any other willing participant they could recruit along the way. Caravan of Thieves was born. \nBy the end of their first year\, the Caravan began to gain recognition for their distinctive musical vision\, which inspired them to record and release their debut full-length album\, Bouquet (2009). So Fuzz and Carrie took their show and growing cast of characters on the road\, sharing stages with a variety of artists such as Emmylou Harris\, Dan Hicks\, The Decemberists\, Keb Mo\, Tom Tom Club\, Iron and Wine\, Shemekia Copeland\, Punch Brothers\, Robert Cray\, John Jorgenson and many others. They successfully connected with audiences on each of these diverse bills\, proving their act to be appreciated by folk\, pop\, rock and jazz audiences of all ages. \nA few albums and a few hundred thousand miles later\, Fuzz and Carrie eventually reached a comfortable stride embracing their roles as show and album producers\, songwriters and arrangers. They released Mischief Night (2010)\, The Funhouse (2012) and Kiss Kiss (2015)\, produced the shows and tours to follow\, and continued to introduce a greater blend of styles\, instrumentation and musical guests with each new album and tour. As a result\, the live performance now covers a wide dynamic range and appeal with each show flowing seamlessly from intimate acoustic duets to entertaining and exciting junk percussion jams to big audience stomp\, clap and sing alongs\, all while maintaining their spontaneous “street performance brought to the stage” mentality they developed in their early days of performing together. \nAccording to Fuzz and Carrie\, “We’re driven to consistently entertain our audience\, in concert and on our studio recordings\, which lends to building a community of listeners who can be involved in our show and our creative process in some way\, as well as a variety of artists who we can share our vision with. These elements allow our band and our music to be alive\, have a soul.” \n“We are always attempting to write that song that was mistakenly left out of the book of standards”\, Fuzz and Carrie explain. “But the challenge for us lies in covering topics that most listeners can relate to while taking them to the edges of their imaginations by both lyrically and musically using as many vibrant images as we can to illustrate the story.” \nOver the past fifteen years and throughout several countries\, the Caravan of Thieves have developed a loyal family of “Freaks”\, a moniker both the band and their followers willingly and affectionately refer to themselves as. During that time\, Fuzz and Carrie’s ever expanding community of musicians\, artists and fans have allowed their dream to live through each triumph and hurdle\, and with each performance\, each interaction and each new moment adding another layer of color to their story.

SUMMARY:Eddie Allen's Jazzy Brass for the Holidays
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special night of jazz with Trumpeter Eddie Allen and his band\, which will be spreading the Holiday Cheer! \nEddie Allen – Trumpet \nMark McGowan – Trumpet \nAmie Amis – French Horn \nJerrick Matthews – Trombone \nOscar Perez – Piano \nRichie Goods – Bass \nJerome Jennings – Drums \n– CRITIC’S REVIEW – \nA smart holiday set that might have some fat playing but certainly doesn’t show any schmaltz- Chris Spector Midwest Record \nNew Yorker Eddie Allen has assembled a sassy brass quartet (plus acoustic bass and some percussion)\, generating white heat and a slow burn for the holidays. ChristmasReviews.com–Carol Swanson \nTrumpeter Allen has conviction in what he’s doing. Refusing to stoop to weak sentiment\, he communicates his sense of uplift when refurbishing “We Three Kings”\, “O Holy Night” and a dozen more classics. –Downbeat Magazine Frank Hadley \nHere\, Allen has chosen to go the jazzy route from the outset on the pop material. For the carols\, he makes use of the brass quartet to state the melody\, but then allows the individual horn players to follow their improvisational imagination. It makes for an interesting mix that is a pleasant and lively change of pace from most jazz Christmas albums. –Jersey Jazz Joe Lang
