Description

Ask us to send you a DvD. We have a raw recording of a recent showcase we did in Boston. It's 30 minutes long, and much better than a photo or a studio recording because it's live July 2009! The Plaid Daddy band, comprised of talented musicians networking throughout the Berklee College of Music has now performed over 2,000 shows since it's inception in the year 2000. Primarily starting as a nightclub band, the Band Leader, Jim, started getting calls from couples that had seen them live and thought they would be perfect for their wedding. The calls kept coming, then agents started calling and in only two years after the start of his first-ever band...This became Jim's full-time career. Being the youngest of Eleven children it seemed only natural to bring the huge variety of music he was hearing from his sibling's bedrooms to a live stage. He was told by agencies it wouldn't work but, boy did it ever! Now with the experience of 8 years and a fan base around New England, (over 120 shows were booked from April to October of 2008 Alone!) the increased demand for private shows has been making the public performances more of a rarity, but Plaid Daddy still likes to pop up in Providence, Boston, Portland, Cape Cod, Newport and other regions throughout the year to stay as cutting edge as their reputation. A Fantastic Career.
