$ 25.00 - $250.00 / Age 21 And UpLizzy & the Triggermen transport you back to the glamour of the Swing Era, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new. Their show is a joyously subversive mixture of vintage jazz, show tunes, and biting originals that highlight Lizzy's wicked sense of humor (which she previously used to create Emmy-nominatedTV shows).
The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy Shapiro, who NPRraved is "one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse" and Broadway World hailed as "apowerhousevocalist and songwriter."
She created the band with musical director Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for the legendary 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 and premiere jazz festivals (Tucson Jazz Festival, San Diego Jazz Party), and breaking glass ceilings for swing music, including touring with Squeeze, co-headlining festivals with acts likeSamara Joy, Nancy Sinatra, and being chosen forSXSW.
Hardly a polite throwback, the Triggermen are a full-throttle, ten-piece band, with Shapiro as a strong and sultry frontwoman. - The Boston Herald
The band's phat and wailing horn section, tight rhythm section, and a brassy and charismatic front-woman with powerhouse vocals who's dripping with baditude makes this act an utter joy to watch. Lizzy's not just singing, she's putting on a show.- The New Times"
10-piece jazz sensations" - LA Weekly
"Innovative, time-traveling genius" - Music Connection
"Shapiro is a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter with a fun, femme fatale swagger." - Broadway World
