The Englert Presents

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue
Live @ The Englert

Sunday, June 21st @ 7:30 PM

Maybe you caught Trombone Shorty the last time he graced the Englert stage. Perhaps you were introduced during his preshow Superbowl Performance in 2025. It may be that the sound of the adults in the The Peanuts Movie is something you gravitate towards. Regardless of how you found him, Trombone Shorty is making his return to the Englert stage on Sunday, June 21st for a show that is sure to be equal parts skilled musicianship and unequivocally fun. Come delve into the world or high energy New Orleans music that is Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

“Troy Andrews (aka Trombone Shorty) is a flat out multi-instrumental genius. He was a child prodigy from the musical heart of New Orleans (the Treme neighborhood), the product of a musically potent family that included his mother being a regular grand marshal of jazz funerals, a grandfather who scored a hit with “Ooh Poo Pah Doo,” and a great uncle who played with Fats Domino. Dripping with this kind of Big Easy cred, little Troy played before large crowds before he grew taller than his trombone…Trombone Shorty’s charisma quotient is off the chart and his strutting, jiving, and dancing combine to create joyful bursts of energy felt by all,” (Inside of Knoxville).

“On Aug. 29 [2025], Trombone Shorty is releasing Second Line Sunday, an album that is both a tribute to his mother and the rich tapestry of New Orleans' music culture…’Even at the funerals, we second-line,’ Andrews said. ‘We dance inside a funeral home. We celebrate life even in our saddest moments. We are very joyous people.’ Andrews describes how, despite the sadness, the music always carries an undercurrent of joy. ‘It comes out through the music, but in a dancing way,’ he said. ‘If you're listening to solos and stuff, you can hear some stories being told in our souls,’” (NPR).
