Acclaimed Los Angeles swing band, Lizzy & the Triggermen, make their NYC debut on Saturday, April 6th at Joe's Pub at 7pm & 9:30pm.
Dubbed "10-piece jazz sensations" by LA Weekly and hot off their sold out show at the prestigious Tucson Jazz Festival, Lizzy & the Triggermen transport you back to the glamour of the Jazz Age, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new (think Duke Ellington meets Amy Winehouse).
The show is a joyously subversive 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). What you will not hear: "In the Mood." What you will hear: sinfully catchy swing songs about society, sequins, and sublimated female rage (with the occasional operatic high note thrown in for good measure).
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 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, and breaking glass ceilings for swing music, including touring with Squeeze, sharing bills with acts like Samara Joy, Nancy Sinatra, Nick Waterhouse, 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). Their shows are a safe space for the chronically over-dressed, so the audience is encouraged to get as decked out as they'd like.
Joe's Pub is at 425 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10003, New York, NY.
