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.”
The show is a “joyously subversive” (Broadway World) mixture
of vintage pop, show tunes, 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 1930s 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. As their debut EP
succinctly states: they make “Good Songs for Bad Times.”
The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy Shapiro,
who Broadway World hailed as "a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter"
and the New Times raved is "dripping with badittude." She teamed up
with legendary musician and arranger, Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged
for Benny Goodman). Their 2020 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 across the country, playing sold out shows at top
jazz festivals (Tucson Jazz Festival) and breaking glass ceilings for swing
music, including touring with Squeeze, co-headlining festivals alongside Samara
Joy, Nancy Sinatra, and be chosen for SXSW.
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 Woody Herman to Rachel
and Vilray.
