Hold on to your zoot suits, swing and ska fans! This September we’ll witness not one but TWO album releases from the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies. Susquehanna, previously available only through the band’s Web site, and Skaboy JFK: The Skankin’ Hits of the Cherry Poppin’ Daddies will both be available as of September 29th courtesy of Rock Ridge Music/Space Age Bachelor Pad Records. Frontman Steve Perry says, “This is our coming-out party after a bit of a self-imposed hiatus, and we are happy to be with a company with such great industry bona fides.”
From the official press release, “Susquehanna brings together the Daddies West Coast retro style and Latin influences: Flamenco, Greaser Rock, Swing, Ska, Glam and Soca to name a few. Skaboy will combine four new recordings with tracks from the group’s earlier catalog, reflecting all the waves and varieties of ska.”
