Iggy T and The Crazymakers

Iggy T and the Crazymakers is a tight 5-piece ensemble with a big sound that reaches into your hindbrain and purrs hello. It’s Bambi with piercings and an old soul; peach cobbler with a bullet in it. Influenced by the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:7mnBLXK823vNxN3UWB7Gfz" data-name="The Black Keys">The Black Keys</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:16GcWuvvybAoaHr0NqT8Eh" data-name="Alabama Shakes">Alabama Shakes</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4dpARuHxo51G3z768sgnrY" data-name="Adele">Adele</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:3dkbV4qihUeMsqN4vBGg93" data-name="Al Green">Al Green</a>, they blend traditional soul elements with a modern, beat-driven groove. in songs that excavate the self and the soul.

The core of IT&amp;TCs is Sarah Todd and David Franz, out of Ojai, CA. Their particular combination of soul, blues, and rock makes you feel like a plant that’s just been watered…with whisky: sated and saucy, all on a sultry night.


With little patience for ersatz world-weariness, Todd’s enthusiasm and insistence on keeping things real, casting the ego aside in service to the sound, and growing in self-discovery is, nowadays, refreshing and unique. Franz, a celebrated musical polymath, owns and operates “Underground Sun,” the label which shot singer <a href="spotify:artist:2gJiBZCUPgMDAqtqYtgJwA" data-name="Iyeoka">Iyeoka</a> to fame. His long experience as a session multi-instrumentalist and producer helps sculpt and refine the shapes of the songs.


Their debut LP “Just Can’t Get Enough” has been enthusiastically embraced by the LGBTQ community with the bi-anthem “Cake” leading the charge. Unafraid of getting political, IT&amp;TC’s stand in solidarity with all marginalized communities with songs like “I Don’t Know Your Pain,” “Fire,” and “I’ll Take My Power Back.”
