Cherry Poppin' Daddies in Fort Collins

Cherry Poppin' Daddies are an American band formed in Eugene, Oregon, in 1989. Their music covers swing, ska, punk and rock, and they are best known for the compilation album Zoot Suit Riot and its title song, which became associated with the late-1990s swing revival. The band played dates on the 1998 Warped Tour while touring behind Zoot Suit Riot, taking its horn-driven repertoire beyond the Pacific Northwest club circuit into larger theatres. After a hiatus in the early 2000s, the group resumed performing in clubs, theatres and at ska festivals. Cherry Poppin' Daddies perform as a full band with a prominent horn section, moving between swing arrangements and faster ska and punk material. The set is led by singer and songwriter Steve Perry.
