ABOUT THE ARTIST
Few artists embody the heart and soul of their city like Trombone Shorty. Perhaps the most recognizable ambassador for New Orleans music working today, Shorty has spent his entire life not only carrying the torch for Crescent City culture, but also propelling it forward into the 21st century with his ecstatic live performances and intoxicating blend of rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences.
Born Troy Andrews, Shorty made his first appearance at New Orleans’ iconic Jazz Fest at the age of four, when he took the stage for an impromptu performance with Bo Diddley. By six, he was heading up his own brass band, and by his early twenties, he’d released the first in a string of critically acclaimed, chart-topping albums.
On top of his relentless touring schedule, Shorty also managed to launch The Trombone Shorty Foundation in 2011, which supports youth music education in New Orleans and beyond.
Shorty’s latest album, 2022’s Lifted, is raw and exhilarating. The collection bottles the explosive power of his transcendent stage show, balancing raucous, joyful anthems with poignant reflections on loss and resilience. Like Shorty himself, it’s a living, breathing invitation to experience the magic of New Orleans for yourself, a transportive spiritual experience steeped in family, community, and tradition, with both eyes fixed firmly on the future.
