Lizzy and Her Contraband Let’s Swing Broadway: from Leonard Bernstein to Jerome Kern

Rising star songbird Lizzy Shapiro, who NPR raves is “one part Eartha Kitt, one part Ella Fitzgerald, one part Amy Winehouse,” returns to Campus JAX with a brand new show: Let’s Swing Broadway. Fresh from playing sold-out shows at the Tucson Jazz Festival, topping the Apple Music jazz charts, and touring the country with her big band—Lizzy and the Triggermen—she brings a more intimate show featuring swinging reimaginings of some of her favorite tunes from Broadway shows like West Side StoryGypsyGuys and Dolls, and Showboat. The Contraband will feature Nate Ketner (sax), Jason Wanner (piano), Sam Webster (drums), and Gary Wicks (bass).

7:00 PM – 8:30 P

Doors open at 5:30 PM

About the Venue: Campus JAX

“Newport Beach’s only supper club”, Campus JAX features cabaret-style shows with dining, dancing, and seating at tables or the bar in an intimate listening room.

Christopher Burkardt’s Stellar Shows (some of you may remember their shows at Don the Beachcomber) puts on a good number of Swing-danceable bands there every month. There is a large stage and good dance floor.

It is a supper club so a purchase is required, but there is no drink minimum. Food is Cajun/Creole and gets an impressive four-and-a-half stars on Yelp. Dinner prices range from $10-$18. Of course, there’s also a full bar.

They put out multiple water tanks for dancers. Everybody has a seat – but you need not stay in your seats!
