LA-based big band, Lizzy & the Triggermen, transport you back to the glamour of the Prohibition Era, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new. As NPR raves, they are “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, on part Amy Winehouse.”
Their show is a “joyously subversive” (Broadway World) mixture of vintage swing and biting originals that highlight Lizzy's wicked sense of humor (which she previously used to create Emmy-nominated TV shows). Like the great tunes of the '30s which so inspire them, their music boldly tackles our modern troubles and turns them into killer dance songs that fill you with joy the way only a wailing horn section can.
Their debut album, "Good Songs for Bad Times," hit #3 on the iTunes Jazz Charts alongside jazz royalty Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington. They quickly went from performing in speakeasies to selling out top venues and jazz festivals across the country, co-headlining festivals with Samara Joy and Nancy Sinatra, touring with Squeeze and being chosen for SXSW.
The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy with arrangements by living legend, Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for Benny Goodman). But the star power emanates through the entire incredible band: a multi-generational dream team of crushers who have toured with everyone from Woody Herman to Harry Connick Jr. to Rachel and Vilray to Panic! at the Disco.
Come early and take a basic swing lesson with dance instructor Hot Jazz Cass and friends, no partner or experience needed.
