Trombone Shorty performed with his band Orleans Avenue at Fort Adams in 2011 and is returning to Newport this summer to perform at the Jazz Festival on Sunday 2nd August.
The 28 year old formerly known as Troy Andrews earned his nickname more than two decades ago, back when he used to walk the street of New Orleans, playing trombone that was twice his size.
"I want to bring Mardi Gras to the world", Shorty said, calling on his way to a show in New Jersey. It's a mission he takes seriously, whether he's playing for President Barack Obama at the White House with Mick Jagger, or performing at the NBA All-Star Game halftime show with Earth, Wind & Fire, with his mix of jazz, blues, rock, soul and of course, Cajun and Creole.
