DESCRIPTION:
It's all about a good time, and you can bet that’s what you’ll have with Big Daddy Rhythm & The Heavyweights. Everything they do on stage is directed toward one purpose…maximum entertainment! They achieve that goal through a combination of excellent song selection, lots of audience participation, expert musicianship, and a genuine love for what they do. These guys are obviously having a blast in their show and it is truly infectious. Any audience will find it nearly impossible not to enjoy them enjoying themselves.One of the factors that makes Big Daddy Rhythm & the Heavyweights a perfect choice for your event is experience. The band consists of former members of such bands as Black & Blue, The Men of Soul, The Embers, and The Coastline Band, including Vincent E. McDougald (the founder of both BDR and Coastline). Members of BDR have performed with many of the legends in the music industry, either as an opening act or back-up band. Those artists include: Parliament, The Temptations, The Four Tops, Jerry Lee Lewis, Percy Sledge, The Crystals, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Cigar Store Indians, The Tokens, Starship, The Guess Who, Paul Revere & the Raiders, Chuck Jackson, Jerry Butler, Herman’s Hermits, Ben E. King, Clarence Carter, Maurice Williams & the Zodiacs, The Stylistics, The Orioles, The Coasters, The Platters, The Drifters, The Clovers, and MANY others.

They do all these styles with absolute authenticity...and the best part is that IT’S ALL LIVE! Nothing is pre-recorded. Everything you hear is being played by one of the six band members you see on the stage. Between them, they play drums, bass, guitars, keyboards, trumpet, trombone, saxophones, and harmonica.

CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Big Daddy and the Heavyweights truly made my wedding reception a hit. The band was highly interactive with the crowd. Even my two 70 year old grandmothers got on the dance floor and turned it out :) I would highly recommend this band to others. The members were all friendly and professional. Vincent, the leader, is very easy to work with. Vincent spent a great deal of time talking with me between emails and phone calls making sure that every minute of my reception was truly what I desired. All of my special requests were met and then some. My wedding reception was amazing. It was all I imagined and more. Thanks to these amazing performers.
