Big Bad VooDoo Daddy returns to Carson City for party at new Casino Fandango ballroom
The Brewery Arts Center, Carson City’s premiere epicenter for the arts since 1975 announced Tuesday the return of Big Bad VooDoo Daddy and its Wild & Swingin’ Holiday Party that will be featured at Casino Fandango’s new Grand Ballroom on Dec. 4.
With more than two decades together, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is still picking up steam and continues to tour, record, and entertain. The band opened the Levitt AMP Carson City Free Summer Concert series in 2017 and Carson City couldn’t get enough.
With only 600 tickets available these tickets are sure to sell out quickly. A limited number of VIP tickets will be sold at $75 each which will include seating and the general admission tickets are standing room only at $40 each or $35 for BAC members. Tickets go on sale on Tuesday, Oct. 23 at noon. The Dec. 4 show begins at 7 p.m.
Tickets will be available at the Expresso Yourself Café inside the Brewery Arts Center, the cage at the Casino Fandango or link to the ticket agent online at breweryarts.org or casinofandango.com. Proceeds for this show will benefit the Brewery Arts Center and the BAC will have a silent auction with unique gifts available for concert goers at the Casino Fandango that evening.
For 25 years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s unique take on American swing and jazz music has thrilled audiences around the world, while their unique and spirited “Wild and Swingin’ Holiday Party” has become an eagerly anticipated annual family event. Singer and band leader Scotty Morris says, “If you’re going to go to a holiday show with your family, this is the one! It really does offer something for everyone.”
Drawing on a rich catalogue of holiday classics and Christmas originals from the band’s two full length holiday albums, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy brings its world-renowned live show, and fun and quirky take on the holidays, to you.
Fun arrangements of classic holiday songs in Big Bad Voodoo Daddy style include: Jingle Bells, Santa Claus Is Coming to Town, and Winter Wonderland. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is “Andrew’s Sisters” meets the blues, and the just as classic Heat Miser song transports listeners back to another beloved holiday special. See the video below or go here.
The band rips through Chuck Berry’s Run, Run Rudolph, Lou Rawls’ Merry Christmas Baby, and slows things down for Elvis Presley’s Blue Christmas. Detours to New Orleans for Frosty the Snowman, and to the Caribbean for the Calypso A Party for Santa, keep things interesting. The band takes a moment to reflect on the beauty and spirituality of the holidays with their moving arrangement of We Three Kings.
Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has always made writing original music a priority, and the holidays are no exception. Rockabilly Christmas, Last Night (I Went Out With Santa Claus), Christmas Time in Tinsel Town, and the beautiful and reflective It Feels Like Christmas Time, are the band’s take on the many feelings of the holidays.
