“[Lizzy is] one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse” – NPR
“Hardly a polite throwback, the Triggermen are a full-throttle, ten-piece band, with Lizzy as a strong and sultry frontwoman.” – Boston Herald
“Lizzy is a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter with a fun, femme fatale swagger.” — Broadway World
Rooted in the sound and swagger of bands like Basie and Ellington, their music is infused with a myriad of unexpected influences from R&B to Bebop to Broadway to Indie Pop to even Opera. As Lizzy and her arranger, Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for Benny Goodman), decided from the jump: they weren’t going to pretend like the last 90 years of music hadn’t happened.  Part of Lizzy & the Triggermen’s “time traveling genius” (Music Connection) is their ability to thrillingly marry the old with the new. Like the songs of Prohibition Era which so inspire them, their music boldly tackles our modern troubles and turns them into dance songs that fill the audience with joy. With her great voice Lizzy reinterprets classics such as Ella Fitzgerald’s “When I Get Low I Get High,” and Eartha Kitt’s “I’d Rather Be Burned as a Witch,” as well the contemporary “Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears and Lizzy’s own “Dance Song (For the End of the World).” Band leader is Lizzy a charismatic siren with a searing wit and soaring voice. Her “powerhouse vocals” (Broadway World), forged singing opera, recall the great old divas while still sounding completely unique and new. Her songwriting, which Janis Ian likened to Leonard Cohen, is filled with the same biting humor she used to create TV comedies for HBO, Amazon, Legendary, CBS, and the History Channel, garnering multiple Emmy nominations.  A testament to their broad appeal they toured with Squeeze, The Tucson Jazz Festival and recently co-headlined Modernism Week alongside Samara Joy and Nancy Sinatra.
