And you can bet that’s what you’ll have with Big Daddy Rhythm & The
Heavyweights. Everything they do on stage is directed toward one
purpose…maximum entertainment! They achieve that goal through a combination
of excellent song selection, lots of audience participation, expert musicianship, and
a genuine love for what they do. These guys are obviously having a blast in their
show and it is truly infectious. Any audience will find it nearly impossible not to
enjoy them enjoying themselves.
One of the first things you’ll notice at a Big Daddy Rhythm show is that there are a
bunch of instruments on the stage for just six people. On their stage, you’ll find
drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, saxophones, and harmonica.
All the members of the band sing and most of them play several instruments during
the show. Most of the members have music degrees or extensive formal training.
The band plays through a state-of-the-art PA system. Because of the quality of
their equipment, BDR can go from a small private party to an outdoor festival
without the slightest compromise in the sound…just right for any event, any venue.
Big Daddy Rhythm & the Heavyweights’ repertoire includes some of the most
popular songs from a wide variety of genres. This makes them an excellent choice
for even the most diverse audience. BDR covers classic soul, beach music, old
rock & roll, blues, southern rock, ‘70s & ‘80s retro, and more. They do all these
styles with absolute authenticity…and the best part is that IT’S ALL LIVE! Nothing
is pre-recorded. Everything you hear is being played by someone you see on the
stage.
Although the band is relatively young with some members only in their 20s, the
amount of experience on their stage is staggering. Members of BDR have
performed with many of the legends in the music industry, either as an opening act
or back-up band. Those artists include: Parliament, The Temptations, The Four
Tops, Jerry Lee Lewis, Percy Sledge, The Crystals, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cigar
Store Indians, The Tokens, Starship, The Guess Who, Paul Revere & the Raiders,
Chuck Jackson, Jerry Butler, Herman’s Hermits, Ben E. King, Clarence Carter,
Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs, The Stylistics, The Orioles, The Coasters, The
Platters, The Drifters, The Clovers, and MANY others.
The audience is often as big a part of the show as the band. Their participation
can come in the standard forms you might expect; dancing, clapping, and singing
along. But, there are often opportunities for people to come right out of the crowd
onto the stage for their “15 minutes of fame”. The band lives for this stuff! Some
of the most memorable moments on stage have been delivered courtesy of these
“special guests”.
No matter when or where you have the opportunity to see Big Daddy Rhythm, don’t
pass it up. Each show brings something different, but it’s always fun, fresh, and
entertaining. For a good time, call Big Daddy Rhythm & the Heavyweights.
