In the past few years <a href="spotify:artist:1stGNsBocVFM9MfQtySETw" data-name="Cherry Poppin' Daddies">Cherry Poppin' Daddies</a> have become the kind of band that you would want to book if you were throwing a soiree at the Gatsby mansion. Penning elegant, lush, pitch perfect arrangements of much of the great American songbook, from Cole Porter to Frank Sinatra, the Daddies have surprised many whose limited exposure to the band undoubtedly consists of an image of spray painted vans careening across the US as an iconoclastic, misfit part of an already marginalized punk/ska scene.
Sadly, over the past year the band has been laying low and playing a bit closer to home in order that Perry can be a caregiver to his wife, business partner, and video muse, Yvette “Cherry” Perry who was recently diagnosed with stage IV colorectal cancer. “This setback for our family has brought us closer to our fans, who have been so giving of their best wishes and helping with small donations to Yvette’s cancer care.”
Proximity to home has allowed the Eugene, Oregon band to recently finish a new recording slated for release in late 2018 called Bigger Life. Perry says, “Bigger Life is 14 songs that will allow us to touch base with our punk/ska audience. We will continue to play the all swing, classy theater type shows that are our bread and butter, but in addition we would like to book a few special tours and play festivals where we crank it up only with ska punk. This new record turned out really special and we are excited for people to get their ears on it."
