This spring Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue light up the stage with their unique combination of old-school jazz, funk and soul, laced with hard-rock power chords and hip-hop beats. As the 27-year-old grandson of R&B and Blues singer/songwriter Jessie Hill, Trombone Shorty infuses this sound with the flavors of his New Orleans upbringing.
Since the release of their Grammy®-nominated 2010 debut album, Backatown, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have grown creatively while winning hordes of new fans performing nonstop on five continents. Their latest album, For True, offers substantive proof of their explosive growth, further refining the signature sound Troy "Trombone Shorty"? Andrews has dubbed "Supafunkrock."?
The band includes Trombone Shorty on trombone and trumpet, Mike Ballard on bass, Pete Murano on guitar, Joey Peebles on drums, Dan Oestreicher on baritone sax, and Tim McFatter on tenor sax.
