Bridge City Sinners
From the misty, pine-covered hills of the Pacific Northwest hail the Bridge City Sinners, who span the continuum from prohibition era jazz to Appalachian death folk. This traditional string band line up bends the meaning of the word genre, Playing festivals from Punk Rock Bowling, to Muddy Roots, to Oregon’s Bluegrass String Summit. They started their journey by busking on sidewalks across the country and now this supergroup of musicians find themselves on the national tour circuit.
Lizzy & the Triggermen
Lizzy & the Triggermen transport you back to the glamour of the Jazz Age, but with a sound and swagger that is thrillingly new. The band is helmed by operatically-trained Lizzy Shapiro, who NPR raved is “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse” and Broadway World hailed as “a powerhouse vocalist and songwriter.” She created the band with musical director Dan Barrett (who played with and arranged for Benny Goodman).
