Cookout Series at Hopmonk Tavern Presents Cherry Poppin' Daddies
Date: Sunday, June 12, 2022
Time: 6:00pm
KC Turner Presents Cherry Poppin’ Daddies in the Beer Garden; this band has 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. In fact the Daddies have of late put together a number of excellent swing/ jazz sit down theatre type shows, each tailored to a different era of swing music: a “Jazz Age Lawn Party” consisting of roaring 20’s and Cotton Club Era material, a swanky “Live at the Sands” type tribute to the Rat Pack, and a World War 2 “Christmas Canteen” show that is part Tiki, part Benny Goodman and comes across like a radio broadcast from Guadalcanal circa 1942. The sheer craftsmanship and professional attention to detail of these performances have shed new light on this criminally underestimated band.
Tickets are $30 each for general admission; $48 for general admission plus a cookout meal. Picnic tables of 10 are also available for reservations. All tickets must be purchased in the above website link.
Doors open at 5:00pm; Show starts at 6:00pm
