Lao Tizer shares new video for "New Orleans"

ACCLAIMED KEYBOARDIST AND COMPOSER
LAO TIZER AND THE LAO TIZER BAND
SHARE NEW VIDEO FOR "NEW ORLEANS" – WATCH
Acclaimed keyboardist, composer and bandleader Lao Tizer today shares the video for “New Orleans” from the recently released album and video release Amplify by The Lao Tizer Band, featuring GRAMMY-winning saxophonist Eric Marienthal and GRAMMY-nominee and 3x Emmy-winning guitarist Chieli Minucci.
““New Orleans” is one of the first original vocals we finished and added to the live show and is a big statement track for the band with a real Blues-Rock crossover vibe. It’s a perennial barn-burner live and true to its title, was inspired by ironically one of the only major American cities I’ve still yet to visit. I certainly hope this track will help finally get us there, such an iconic musical heritage. I can think of one particular festival that’d be extra special to perform at!”

Amplify sees Tizer continuing to knock down boundaries and expand musical horizons. In particular, the band broke a personal boundary by including their first-ever original vocal tracks on the album with the help of American Idol sensation and RIAA Platinum Certified singer Elliott Yamin. Yamin provides lead vocals on Amplify’s 5 original vocal tracks. The album was recorded and filmed all LIVE in two days at legendary EastWest Studios in Hollywood with a simultaneous 7-camera video shoot directed by acclaimed music-film director, Andy LaViolette (Snarky Puppy) with the audio portion engineered and mixed by Caleb Parker (Scary Pockets, Vulfpeck).
