In 29 years of performances, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (BBVD) has celebrated jazz and swing music. In fact, the band was named after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins. Formed in the early 90s in Ventura, California, BBVD has toured virtually nonstop since, performing an average 150 shows a year, and has produced a sizable catalog of recorded music.
