Columbia State Community College welcomes Big Bad Voodoo Daddy to the Cherry Theater on April 10 as part of the Performance Series sponsored by First Farmers and Merchants Bank.

Together for more than 30 years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy — famously named after an autograph by blues legend Albert Collins — has appeared in concert venues across the world, sold millions of records and had their music appear in hundreds of movies and television shows. With sold-out concerts from the Hollywood Bowl to Lincoln Center, appearances with many of the country's finest symphony orchestras, and television appearances ranging from Dancing with the Stars to Superbowl XXXIII, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy continues its decades-long mission to celebrate and revitalize jazz and swing music ­— America's original musical art form — and bring joy to audiences around the world.

“Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the swing genre, experiencing Big Bad Voodoo Daddy live is like stepping into a roaring jazz club where every note brims with excitement and soul!” said Tammy Rosson, Columbia State director of events and alumni relations. “Enjoy world-class swing music in a beautiful theater with free parking and affordable tickets — all without the drive to Nashville.”

This is the last performance in the 2024-2025 First Farmers Performance Series.
