| Lizzy & the Triggermen Appearing at Joe's Pub April 6th Acclaimed LA swing band, Lizzy & the Triggermen, make their NYC debut on Sat, April 6th with 2 shows at Joe's Pub Dubbed "10-piece jazz sensations" by LA Weekly and hot off their sold out shows at the Tucson Jazz Festival and San Diego Jazz Party, Lizzy & the Triggermen transport you back to the Swing Era, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new (think Duke Ellington meets Amy Winehouse). The shows will be a joyously subversive mixture of vintage jazz, show tunes, and biting originals that highlight Lizzy's wicked sense of humor (which she used to create Emmy-nominated TV shows). The band is an all-star lineup of jazz musicians from both coasts. The band is helmed by classically-trained Lizzy, who Broadway World hailed as "a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter" and the New Times raved is "dripping with baditude." She created the band with musical director Dan Barrett (who played lead trombone with Benny Goodman). Their 2020 debut album, "Good Songs for Bad Times, " hit #3 on the iTunes Jazz Charts alongside Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington. They quickly went from performing in speakeasies to selling out top venues across the country, and breaking glass ceilings for swing music, including touring with Squeeze, co-headlining Modernism Week alongside Samara Joy and Nancy Sinatra and being chosen for SXSW. You can catch Lizzy & the Triggermen's electrifying live show on Saturday, April 6th at Joe's Pub at 7pm & 9:30. write your comments about the article :: © 2024 Jazz News :: home page |
