House of Blues Concert

A Full-House Concert at the House of Blues
November 2023 | Boston, MA

In November 2023, Zishi Liu led his genre-blurring ensemble in a full-house performance at the Citizens House of Blues—one of Boston’s most storied music venues, nestled in the heart of the Fenway district. With a distinctive lineup of tenor saxophone, vibraphone, piano, bass, drums, and male vocals, the group delivered a set that wove together threads of jazz, folk, and pop into a vibrant musical tapestry.

The evening stood as a testament to Liu’s bold artistic voice—rooted in improvisation yet shaped by the lyricism of cross-cultural influence. The audience, diverse and deeply engaged, responded with warmth and energy, reinforcing the band’s commitment to making jazz both accessible and emotionally resonant in a contemporary context.
