  “ In short, Big Daddy D & The Dynamites sound is a blend of American roots, rock, soul, rhythm & blues creating an up tempo, house rockin' sound that will keep the dance floor filled.
I tend to shy away from the worn out classic blues and rock blues so many bands are still covering, and instead provide a fresh take on mostly up-tempo, danceable music with a blues twist.
I cover other genres such as, roots rock, soul, jazz tinged blues, and R&B, but only if the fit is right for your venue and audience.
If you feel like Big Daddy D & The Dynamites would be a great fit for your venue, feel free to contact us and discuss available booking dates.”

 It is imperative that we always do our part in promoting any upcoming gig at your venue through emails, social media, and word of mouth, to ensure our night at your venue will be a success.
