Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue to appear at the Weesner Family Amphitheater at the MN Zoo on Friday, June 15 and Saturday, June 16
Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews and his band Orleans Avenue will be bringing their unique blend of jazz/funk/rock to the Weesner Family Amphitheater at the MN Zoo in Apple Valley on Friday, June 15th and Saturday June 16th.
Andrews, is an American musician, producer, actor and philanthropist from New Orleans, Louisiana. Andrews began playing music at a very early age and was playing professionally at the age of five. He mastered trombone, trumpet, and drums, eventually choosing the trombone as his principal instrument and thus picking up his nickname. So advanced was he that, at the age of eight, a club in the city’s Tremé district, where he was born and raised, was named Trombone Shorts in his honor. He recently was nominated and won the Best Instrumentalist for Horn Award at the 39th Blues Music Awards. His most recent album “Parking Lot Symphony” was released in 2017. In all, he has released 11 albums, including several live albums and 4 studio efforts.
Andrews has made multiple White House appearances and toured the globe. He has backed up a number of other artists, including Hall & Oates, Mark Ronson, the Soul Rebels Brass Band, the Zac Brown Band, the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Cee Lo Green, Rod Stewart, and Robert Randolph.
For a great night of cool jazz and one of the best trombone performers in an intimate and unique setting, don’t miss Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue at the Weesner Family Amphitheater.
