Cherry Poppin' Daddies

The Cherry Poppin' Daddies are an American band formed in Eugene, Oregon in 1989. Formed by Steve Perry and Dan Schmid, the band has experienced numerous personnel throughout its history, with only Perry, Schmid and trumpeter Dana Heitman currently remaining from the original founding lineup.

Their music consists of a mix of swing and ska. Their music is largely composed of various interpretations of both genres, ranging from traditional jazz and big band-influenced forms to modernized rock and punk fusions.

They themselves used to facetiously classify their music as "swing-core", exemplified by the fast tempos and frequent use of guitar distortion in their swing material.
