SUMMARY:CHERRY POPPIN' DADDIES TIKI XMAS: WWII CANTEEN - DANCE FLOOR OPEN!
DESCRIPTION:In the past few years Cherry Poppin’ Daddies have become the kind of band that you would want to book if you were throwing a soiree at the Gatsby mansion. Penning elegant\, lush\, pitch perfect arrangements of much of the great American songbook\, from Cole Porter to Frank Sinatra\, the Daddies have surprised many- likely familiar with them from the early 90’s- whose limited exposure to the band undoubtedly consists of an image of spray painted vans careening across the US as an iconoclastic\, misfit part of an already marginalized punk/ska scene. The Daddies have put together a number of excellent swing/ jazz sit down theatre type shows\, each tailored to a different era of swing music: a “Jazz Age Lawn Party” consisting of roaring 20’s and Cotton Club Era material\, a swanky “Live at the Sands” type tribute to the Rat Pack\, and a World War 2 “Christmas Canteen” show that is part Tiki\, part Benny Goodman and comes across like a radio broadcast from Guadalcanal circa 1942. \nInitially rooted in the underground punk scene\, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies made waves with their unique fusion of swing-era jazz and modern rock elements\, gaining a reputation for their explosive live performances. They burst into the mainstream in 1997 with the release of Zoot Suit Riot\, an album that celebrated the swing revival of the late 1990s. The title track became an instant hit\, propelling the band to international fame and selling over two million copies. Musically\, the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies are hard to pin down. They fluidly navigate a range of styles\, from the big band swing sound of Zoot Suit Riot to the ska-punk of albums like Kids on the Street and Rapid City Muscle Car. With roots in alternative and punk rock\, the Daddies have always pushed boundaries\, creating music that feels fresh and innovative. Their ability to seamlessly blend vintage swing with modern genres like ska and rock has allowed them to stand out in a crowded musical landscape\, while appealing to a wide variety of listeners. \nBuy Now

SUMMARY:LOU GRAMM (THE ORIGINAL VOICE & FOUNDING MEMBER OF FOREIGNER): THE RELEASED TOUR with SPECIAL GUEST FRAN COSMO (formerly of BOSTON)
DESCRIPTION:Lou Gramm is best known as the original lead vocalist of the rock band Foreigner. With his powerful\, soaring voice\, he helped define the band’s arena-rock sound in the late 1970s and 1980s. As Foreigner’s frontman\, Gramm sang on major hits such as “Cold as Ice\,” “Hot Blooded\,” “Urgent\,” “Juke Box Hero\,” and the global No. 1 ballad “I Want to Know What Love Is.” He also pursued a successful solo career\, scoring hits like “Midnight Blue” and “Just Between You and Me.” Gramm left Foreigner in 1990\, rejoined briefly in the 1990s\, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Foreigner in 2024. He remains celebrated as one of classic rock’s most distinctive voices. \nFran Cosmo exploded onto the Rock scene when he took over for Brad Delp as the lead singer for the Legendary group BOSTON in 1992. Fran was featured as the lead vocalist on the “Walk On” album and produced the hit single “I Need Your Love”. Upon Brad Delp’s return to BOSTON\, Fran Cosmo and Brad Delp shared lead vocals and harmonized exceptionally well in concert\, wowing their fans on tours\, and always having a fun time trading the spotlight together on stage. Fran Cosmo was a member of BOSTON and toured with them from 1992 to 2006. \nBuy Now
