Legend has it that Voodoo Hodown arose from the swamps of central Florida in early 2003. It was then that an elderly voodoo shaman took them in, gave them their sacred voodoo names, and taught them to respect the voodoo spirit.
Since that time, D.W., Mojo Resin, Voodoo Vinny and Mattissimo have been keeping their promise to deliver a unique blend of classic, southern and progressive rock. Stir in a gator growl and some lively crickets, and you’ve got Voodoo Hodown’s own brand of swamp rock.
What rock?? Swamp rock! Orlandojams.com describes Voodoo Hodown’s music as "serious Zydeco metal, if there is such a thing!” The staff at Soundinoff.com describes them as "one of Florida's best kept underground secrets; a mixture of true southern rock but with a dark progressive edge".
The Hodown has repeatedly rocked such Orlando-area staples as Holly and Dolly’s, Wills Pub, Central Station Bar, Copper Rocket, The Haven, Duke’s, and Calico Jack’s. The Hodown has also taken their swamp rock spectacle on the road to such places as the Metro Café (Melbourne), DeLand Original Music Festival (DeLand), Finnegan's Beachside Pub (Flagler Beach), Lillian’s (Lakeland), and the Full Moon Saloon (Daytona Beach).
They have won the top prize in the band category at Universal Orlando’s Team Member Talent Showcase two years in a row. They have been featured on the Bright House Networks television shows, Echo and Songwriters Showcase and have had multiple appearances on WHOG 95.7 FM’s "The Scene" in Daytona Beach.
While Voodoo Hodown will occasionally tip their collective hats to the greats of the past such as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix and CCR, they have also amassed quite a collection of original material that stands on its own inspired by a long and dusty road, a full moon, and the voodoo shaman who showed them the way.
