Formed in Eugene, Oregon in 1989, Cherry Poppin' Daddies have carved out a unique niche in the music world with their eclectic fusion of swing, ska, funk, rock, and jazz music. Initially, the band drew attention for their energetic performances and their ability to blend various musical styles into a coherent, infectious sound. Throughout the 1990s, they became synonymous with the swing revival movement, largely thanks to the success of their 1997 compilation album, "Zoot Suit Riot," which catapulted them into international recognition.

Despite the changing tides of musical trends, Cherry Poppin' Daddies have remained relentlessly inventive and productive. Their discography highlights an unwillingness to be pigeonholed into one genre. From the high-energy swing beats of "Zoot Suit Riot" to exploring ska in "Soul Caddy" and delving into the complexities of jazz and swing in albums like "White Teeth, Black Thoughts" and "The Boop-A-Doo," they've shown a remarkable range. The titles such as "Take It Off, Stella" and "Royal Street Swingdown" from their more recent releases suggest a continued commitment to blending the rich traditions of swing and jazz with contemporary sensibilities, further solidifying their legacy as kings of modern swing.
