About
The Players :
Scott Bickford,
known for his 12-year stint
performing with and eventually
leading the Thursday Night Jimmy
Buffet Band lays down the rhythmic
foundation on his bass guitar.
Bickford's voice is smooth and
solid as he belts out the classic
Jimmy Buffett tunes like "Cheeseburger
in Paradise", "Fins"
"Come Monday" and
"A Pirate Looks At 40".
On acoustic
guitar and harmonica we have
Larry Clarizio. Larry was brought
up in a musical family and has
an abundance of experience in
many musical genres. He has
gained a reputation as a solo
singer and guitarist performing
songs like Harry Chapin's "Cat's
in the cradle" Neil Young's
"Heart of Gold" and
Billy Joel's "Piano Man".
The Shwing
Daddies feature Gary Lapado
on electric guitar. Gary is
the consummate guitarist with
a love of many styles and an
ability to play them all flawlessly,
able to go from The Dire Strait's
song "Sultans of Swing"
to Chris Isaac's Wicked Game"
to Jimi Hendrix's "Red
House" all with astonishing
ability.
The most impressive
element of the Shwing Daddies
is that as strong as each musician
is separately, as a group they
are quite formidable in their
ability to perform three part
harmonies. They consistently
bring down the house with their
renditions of The Beatles "Nowhere
Man", Neil Young's "Cinnamon
Girl" and Crosby, Stills
and Nash's song "Suite
Judy Blue Eyes" as well
as the Sons of the Pioneer's
"Tumbling Tumble Weeds".
Their sincere love of singing
together is always evident throughout
the performance. Polished, but
not restricted, they hold the
audiences' attention with tight
musicianship and infectious
energy setting them apart from
the average cover band. |
