Get ready to shake, rattle and roll and celebrate "July 4 with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy," as Pacific Symphony kicks off its Summer Festival 2014, presented by Mercedes-Benz. Traditionally the best-attended concert of the year, the Symphony's annual July 4 extravaganza honors American heroes and includes a moving fireworks finale orchestrated to patriotic classics. At the center of this year's holiday concert are the cool cats of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy (BBVD), seven original and two new members of the ensemble that initiated the swing revival of the 1990s with their recreations of Cab Calloway and the Big Band style. The group rocketed to its first phase of stardom when the hits "You Me & the Bottle Make Three (Tonight)" and "Go Daddy-O" were featured in the 1996 film, "Swingers," starring Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau. Taking the stage with the full symphony orchestra led by Principal Pops Conductor Richard Kaufman, BBVD promises to have the audience swinging in the aisles and grooving to the beats with high-energy songs like "Mr. Pinstripe Suite," "I Wanna Be Like You" and music from their newest album, "Rattle Them Bones."
