Initially rooting in the underground punk scene, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies soon 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.
The band fluidly navigates 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. Their ability to seamlessly blend vintage swing with modern genres like ska and tock has allowed them to stand out in a crowded musical landscape while appealing to a wide variety of listeners. The band’s vision, led by charismatic frontman Steve Perry, is grounded in a love for the American music traditions and a rebellious spirit. Perry’s songwriting often tackles deep social issues, but with a playful, irreverent edge that keeps listeners hooked. Cherry Poppin’ Daddies have always been about more than nostalgia- they bring a modern sensibility to classic sounds, breathing new life into the swing genre while staying true to their punk roots.
On their new recording At the Pink Rat, a 12 song swing high energy album, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies offer an exciting journey through American Music, experimenting with 40’s Big Band, Ragtime Hot Jazz, salacious mid-century Bump and Grind, slap bass Rockabilly and much more.
Don't miss them live at the Buffalo State Performing Arts Center on Friday, October 17 at 8pm!
