About Trombone Shorty
Troy Andrews (Trombone Shorty) started his music career very early, from the age of four with his first performance at Jazz Fest with Bo Diddley. A natural showman was born, and his career took off at an accelerated rate starting his own brass band by the age of six and being hired by Lenny Kravitz as a teenager. With his success, Shorty has been able to give back to others with his Trombone Shorty Foundation. The fourth of his cultural exchange trips to Cuba will take place in January of 2025 and includes an ever-expanding group of special guests artists who join Shorty and his foundation to host workshops and play concerts in Cuba over five days, as well as enrich the lives of nearly 100 students.
See How They "Threaux" Down
Before their "Threauxdown," Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue (Pete Murano, Dan Oestreicher, BK Jackson, Joey Peebles, Tracci Lee, Mike Bass-Bailey, Joshua Connelly, and Nell Simmons) will be kicking off their Shorty Gras 2025 event on February 22, one week before Mardi Gras. The Shorty Gras NOLA event is annually a part of the Krewe of Freret parade, where Andrews would ride on his own custom float. The parade concludes with a Shorty Gras ball hosted by Andrews, which will be taking place at Mardi Gras World on 1380 Port of New Orleans Pl. This six-hour performance will feature Ja Rule as their headliner and be accompanied by fellow local favorites The Soul Rebels, New Breed Brass Band, Cardinal Sons, and Big Boi.
