Live Music with Big Bad Voodoo Daddy and The 60 Grit Blues Band
It has been said that this contemporary swing revival band from Southern California is one of those rare bands that you have to see in person to truly appreciate and one of those even rarer bands that sounds better in person than on a recording. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy will be playing at SkyPark at Santa’s Village during the Bike Fest on Saturday, September 1st!
SkyPark at Santa’s Village is making this exclusive, live performance by BBVD part of the SkyPark Bike Fest and concert admission is included with your paid admission into the park! This is a great chance to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy for no additional cost if you’ve purchased a ticket to the festival or are an Annual Pass or LifeStyle Member.
Friday night, listen to the up and coming mountain locals, the 60 Grit Blues Band! They’ve opened on center stage at the Doheny Blues Festival, played at House of Blues Anaheim and San Diego, and are a SkyPark favorite. These boys come to play and they will not disappoint!
