DD Verni has sold millions of records and headlined venues and festivals around the world for over 40 years with his band, heavy metal legends Overkill. Now DD brings his 13-piece rockin' swing band to your town!

Setlists include songs from their albums "Let's Rattle" and the new album "Buckle Up" as well as everything from Fats Domino to Jerry Lee to Sinatra. On their new album DD VERNI & THE CADILLAC BAND make Rockin'-Swing-Big Band music more accessible and relatable than ever before, marrying rock ‘n roll’s visceral energy and succinct songwriting to suave, swinging throwback arrangements and aesthetics.  "Buckle Up" features longtime Brian Setzer drummer Bernie Dresel and slap bassist Johnny Hatton; horn players from Paul McCartney’s band and The Eagles; pianist Or Matias (Josh Groban); guitarist Angus Clark (Trans-Siberian Orchestra); and backing vocals by acclaimed pop-rock duo Kingston and GreyStarr.

Expect DD VERNI & THE CADILLAC BAND’s live shows to be everything that you’d expect in a big band built by a member of a larger-than-life metal act. “This is a big rock ‘n roll show!” DD enthused. Ultimately, the brilliance of this show and music is that it remains at its heart, an uncomplicated, booty-shakin’ good time, oozing warm celebratory vibes.

With a career spanning over four decades, DD is a fearless creative mastermind who keeps on rocking!
