It's All About a Good Time... 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,
which is run by an expert sound engineer.
Because of the quality of their equipment, BDR can go from the
smallest 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 new, 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.
