2023-2024 Season Brochure | J. Scheidegger Center for the Arts at Lindenwood University

A Scheidegger Center holiday tradition! Get in the swing of the season with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s swing revival take on your favorite holiday songs like “Jingle Bells,” “Mr. Heatmiser,” and “Run Rudolph Run,” and jam along to BBVD original holiday music. Famously named after an autograph by blues guitar legend Albert Collins, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy is synonymous with the contemporary swing revival movement. They renewed interest in big-band music and helped popularize swing dancing since the 1990s. Together for over 30 years, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy has played sold-out concerts across the world, sold millions of records, and has had their music appear in hundreds of movies and television shows. Their sound — a medley of jump blues, jazz, and swing — is unmistakable, and the band spreads holiday spirit each year with its annual holiday concert tour.

She was blind from birth but was gifted with perfect pitch and three-and-a- half-octave vocal range. Nicknamed “Deedles” as a child, she grew up surrounded by the world of jazz and initially taught herself piano by ear, later receiving formal piano training. The two-time Grammy Award winner (with three additional nominations) has a distinguished recording career spanning over three decades and has explored almost every corner of the American musical landscape. Schuur’s musical collaborations include the Count Basie Orchestra, B.B. King, Ray Charles, and José Feliciano, among countless others. Her voice is bold and expressive, simultaneously romantic and mischievous, radiating soulful passion. LUBoxOf f ice.com | 636-949- 4433 ALL ARTISTS, PERFORMANCE DATES, AND TIMES SUBJECT TO CHANGE. 6 7
