Lizzy & the Triggermen Take Their Timeless Tunes on Tour

They Call It Jazz, But It Feels Like Crime. Slip on your glad rags and dust off your dancing shoes — the razzle-dazzle is returning to town, courtesy of Lizzy & the Triggermen, Los Angeles’ most thrilling swing sensation. Transporting audiences straight into a speakeasy full of smoke, secrets, and sultry saxophones, this big band blazes a trail from the Prohibition Era’s golden age right into today’s hottest jazz scenes with a sound that’s as fresh as it is timeless.

If the words Eartha Kitt, Ella Fitzgerald, and Amy Winehouse in one breath get your toes tapping, you’re already on the right track. NPR’s glowing praise nails it — Lizzy’s voice is a cocktail of sultry sass and smoky power, shot through with a wicked sense of humor born from her Emmy-nominated TV writing days. The band’s music is a joyous, subversive romp through vintage swing and razor-sharp originals, turning life’s modern woes into irresistible dancefloor anthems powered by a wailing horn section that’d make Benny Goodman nod in approval.

Their debut album, Good Songs for Bad Times, crashed into the iTunes Jazz Charts at a stunning number three spot, rubbing shoulders with legends like Miles Davis and Kamasi Washington. What began in intimate speakeasy sets quickly morphed into packed venues and jazz festivals nationwide. From co-headlining with jazz luminaries like Samara Joy and the legendary Nancy Sinatra to sharing the stage on tour with British new wave icons Squeeze, and earning a coveted spot at SXSW, Lizzy & the Triggermen have proven themselves a force to be reckoned with.

At the helm is Lizzy herself, an operatically trained songstress with a flair for storytelling and arrangement honed alongside the living legend Dan Barrett—a man whose own resume includes arranging for none other than Benny Goodman. The band behind her? A multi-generational dream team of swing crushers who’ve backed giants from Woody Herman and Harry Connick Jr. to indie favorites Rachel and Vilray and the genre-defying Panic! at the Disco. This isn’t just a band — it’s a swing orchestra with attitude, skill, and soul.
