Biography
The Voodoo DeVille band was formed in 1998 by a group of like-minded guys who enjoyed blues and related musical styles, but enjoyed playing them even more. While Chicago blues was our starting point, our repertoire has expanded to include jump, boogie, swing, early rock ‘n roll, and rockabilly. We count many of the greats as our idols and influences but we don’t feel bound to stick strictly to one style or one way of playing. If it’s fun to play, then it’s in our set list. Our music is upbeat and danceable and proven to please a wide range of audiences.
Our first CD – Motorvator – reflects this approach to our music. When we picked the songs for this CD, we simply picked the songs that we love to play. These songs cover a range of styles but the heart of each song has solidly American roots. Our goal was to create a CD that people will have fun listening to.
With our second CD - Lookin' For The Promised Land - you can hear Voodoo DeVille's own distinctive style of American Roots music emerging. This CD includes eight original songs. The humor that is threaded through many of the songs is a reflection of the real joy we experience in playing our music, which we hope we can pass on to our listening audience.
