The sounds of big band and swing are on their way back to Southern Oregon, as Big Bad Voodoo Daddy prepares to return to the Rogue Valley for a one-night performance at the Craterian Theater. The concert is scheduled for Friday, September 19, and it marks another highly anticipated visit from one of the most recognizable names in the modern swing revival movement.
Formed in Southern California in the early 1990s, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy rose to prominence by blending classic swing and jazz traditions with an energetic, contemporary flair. Their music evokes the style of the legendary swing era while adding a distinctive modern edge, making them popular among both traditional jazz enthusiasts and new audiences. Known for their brass-driven sound and charismatic stage presence, the band has built a loyal following across the country and has been a fixture at theaters, festivals, and major televised events for more than three decades.
The Craterian Theater, located in downtown Medford, is no stranger to hosting world-class performers, and the return of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy promises to be one of the highlights of its fall lineup. Fans can expect a lively evening filled with the band’s well-known catalog, which features both original compositions and inventive arrangements of swing standards. The group’s performances are widely regarded as more than just concerts—they are immersive celebrations of rhythm, style, and timeless musical energy.
Tickets for the September 19 performance are currently available through the Craterian’s box office and online ticketing system. With past appearances in the Rogue Valley drawing enthusiastic crowds, demand is expected to be strong. Community members eager to experience a high-energy night of music are encouraged to secure their seats early.
As summer gives way to fall, the concert will provide local audiences with an opportunity to step into a vibrant musical tradition brought to life by a band that continues to keep swing alive for a new generation.
