Swing and Jazz 

Great American Songbook 

Criminally Overlooked

Over the past decade, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies have quietly become one of the most sophisticated and surprising swing and jazz acts in the country, delivering lush, elegant, pitch perfect takes on the Great American Songbook that would feel right at home at a Gatsby mansion soiree.

  • Masters of the Songbook: From Cole Porter to Frank Sinatra, the Daddies bring a craftsman’s attention to detail and a genuine love of the tradition to everything from roaring 1920s Cotton Club material to swanky Rat Pack era classics. These are not casual covers; they are fully realized theatrical experiences built for listening.
  • A Band That Knows the History: The Daddies are an Americana band rooted in hot jazz and Tin Pan Alley; musicians who have done the work to understand where this music comes from before they make it their own. That depth of knowledge is audible in every arrangement, every phrasing choice, every note.
  • One Night, Many Eras: A Cherry Poppin’ Daddies swing show moves fluidly through the decades of American popular music, bringing the whole arc of jazz and swing to life with musicianship, wit, and a showman’s instinct for keeping a room absolutely in the palm of your hand.

This is the rare show where you might know every song and still feel like you’re hearing it for the first time.
