Lizzy & The Triggermen

LA-based big band, Lizzy & The Triggermen make vintage music for modern times. As NPR raves, they are “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse.” Underneath the retro glamour is a captivatingly modern band who is just as at home selling out legendary venues as topping the jazz charts. Their shows are a joyously subversive mixture of vintage gems, showtunes and swinging originals. Their music boldly tackles our troubles and turns them into killer dance songs that fill the audience with joy the way only a wailing horn section can. At the helm is Lizzy: a charismatic siren with a searing wit and soaring voice. Her “powerhouse vocals” (BroadwayWorld), forged singing opera, recall the great old divas while still sounding completely unique and new. Her songwriting, which Janis Ian likened to Leonard Cohen, is filled with the same biting humor she used to create TV comedies for HBO, Amazon, Legendary, CBS and the History Channel, garnering multiple Emmy nominations. But the star power doesn’t stop with Lizzy. It emanates through her entire incredible band, a multi-generational dream team of crushers who have played with everyone from Harry Connick Jr. to Benny Goodman.
