Cherry Poppin’ Daddies Holiday Show

Cherry Poppin’ Daddies present a polished holiday performance built around swing, jazz, and classic Christmas music. Known for elegant arrangements of the American songbook, the band brings a theatrical, sit-down presentation that contrasts with its early punk and ska reputation.

The holiday program draws on the group’s World War II “Christmas Canteen” concept, combining Tiki influences and Benny Goodman-style swing with the atmosphere of a 1942 radio broadcast from Guadalcanal. The production emphasizes detailed staging and professional musical craftsmanship.
