Lizzy & the Triggerman Hits the PNW!

Lizzy & the Triggerman head to the Pacific Northwest this November

Lizzy & the Triggermen, the 10-piece jazz sensation from Los Angeles, is set to bring their explosive swing sound to the Pacific Northwest for a series of performances from November 21st through November 24th. Fans of vintage jazz and modern swing can catch this electrifying act in action as they deliver their timeless yet audaciously fresh sound across multiple cities, offering a musical experience like no other.

The PNW tour promises a vibrant collection of tunes featuring original songs that “stack up so perfectly alongside their spins on vintage classics…is testament to their innovative,time-traveling genius” by Music Connection. True to their ethos of blending the old with the new, Lizzy & the Triggermen’s music invokes the spirit of classic swing bands while embracing modern sensibilities.

Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic Lizzy Shapiro, whose powerhouse vocals have drawn comparisons to legends like Billie Holiday, Eartha Kitt, and even Amy Winehouse, the band channels the energy of 1930s and ’40s jazz while remaining utterly modern. Lizzy’s sharp wit and stage presence, honed from her Emmy-nominated work writing TV comedies for HBO, Amazon, and other major networks, give the performance a theatrical flair that sets them apart from typical swing acts.

Behind her is a tight ensemble of world-class musicians, led by musical director Dan Barrett, who has played with jazz icons such as Benny Goodman. With a rollicking rhythm section and a wailing horn line, the band creates a sound that bridges generations, connecting the golden age of swing with contemporary influences from R&B to indie rock.

The band’s debut EP, Good Songs for Bad Times, epitomizes their ability to take the troubles of the modern world and transform them into uplifting, danceable tracks. In a world weighed down by uncertainty, Lizzy & the Triggermen offer a welcome escape, encouraging audiences to dance through the difficulties of life. With songs that stack up against vintage jazz classics, their originals hold their own in today’s musical landscape, topping jazz charts and gaining recognition alongside legends like Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington.

The Pacific Northwest tour offers a rare chance for local audiences to experience the band live, with each show promising a night of music that is both nostalgic and thrillingly new. Their performances, full of swagger and grace, have earned them acclaim from coast to coast, selling out venues like the Troubadour and earning encores at festivals such as SXSW and Tucson Jazz Festival.
