For over two decades, Colorado-born, LA-based keyboardist and bandleader Lao Tizer has been bringing his unique musical worldview to jazz and beyond. With seven albums and numerous tours, The Lao Tizer Band has attracted a host of A-list musicians to its ranks and engaged a wide-ranging audience, headlining gigs and playing festivals worldwide. The Lao Tizer Band’s forthcoming release, AMPLIFY, promises to cross more boundaries and engage an even wider audience with the addition of platinum-certified, American Idol singing phenom Elliott Yamin to the band. Boasting an irresistible mix of vocal tunes and groove-laden instrumentals that are as infectious as they are sophisticated, AMPLIFY is poised to open a lot of ears.
