2019 Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

Trombone Shorty's new album opens with a dirge, but if you think the beloved bandleader, singer, songwriter and horn-blower born Troy Andrews came here to mourn, you got it all wrong. That bit  of beautiful New Orleans soul—"Laveau Dirge No. 1," named after one of the city's most famous  voodoo queens—shows off our host's roots before Parking Lot Symphony branches out wildly,  wonderfully, funkily across 12 diverse cuts. True to its title, this album contains multitudes of  sound—from brass band blare and deep-groove funk, to bluesy beauty and hip-hop/pop swagger— and plenty of emotion all anchored, of course, by stellar playing and the idea that, even in the  toughest of times, as Andrews says, "Music brings unity." Tickets can be purchased at the Penn's Peak Box Office (walk-up only), Roadies Restaurant (walk-up only) or through Ticketmaster.
