Voodoo Orchestra

Named the nation’s top young blues and swing band by DownBeat Magazine, the Voodoo Orchestra will have you dancin' in the aisles. This 20 piece band plays jump swing like you've never heard it before, fusing an infectious blend of rockabilly, jazz, and down home blues. With Rat Pack swagger, the band brings a high-voltage jolt of feel-good energy to any event. The band has opened for acts as varied as the legendary Robert Cray and the Neon Trees. Their performance credits include headlining Salt Lake City’s EVE celebration and a recent performance at Harlem’s famed Apollo Theater.  Comprised entirely of musicians ages 15-18, you’ll want to see for yourself why GRAMMY-winner, Jeff Coffin of the Dave Matthews Band said of them, “These guys don’t just raise the bar—they soar over it!”
