Bringing the spirit of new orleans to LA!

A taste of New Orleans jazz comes to the Hollywood Bowl this summer as Trombone Shorty and the Orleans Avenue band bring the carnival atmosphere to you! Specialising in rousing rock riffs and horn solos, these guys are joined by the upbeat soul band St. Paul & The Broken Bones who combine old-school and modern blues, soul and gospel in an exciting musical blend. They will be joined by "free country" quartet Lake Street Dive, who garnered international fame with their 2016 album Side Pony.

Trombone Shorty's 2013 offering, Say That to Say This, was, to the delight of many fans, a return to his New Orleans roots with a full-on funk record. Ever the experimenter, Shorty has spent past records dabbling in everything from rap to rock, with his 2011 album For True featuring guest spots from Jeff Beck and Kid Rock. And it's quite telling that the biggest names on Say That to Say This were New Orleans legends The Meters on the song Be My Lady. With tracks like the beautiful Dream On and the instrumental Sunrise only reaffirming Shorty's place at the head of the modern jazz table, he more than keeping New Orleans jazz alive... he's taking it swinging into the modern day and beyond.
