Trombone Shorty Announces his ‘Hometown Threauxdown’ to Celebrate the Culture and Music of New Orleans

Trombone Shorty has announced plans to host his first ‘Hometown Threauxdown’ to take place at Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square in New Orleans on Saturday, October 20, 2018.  On the heels of four successful installments of his springtime ‘Treme Threauxdown’ and his 29-city ‘Voodoo Threauxdown’ tour this coming August and September, Shorty, in conjunction with Q93 and Live Nation, has now created an autumn festival event intended for his friends and neighbors in New Orleans during the City’s Tricentennial.

“I really wanted to give back to the city, and do whatever I can to try to bring it together” said Shorty. “I thought it would be great to get musicians from New Orleans on the same bill as some other friends from the road and try to keep ticket prices low so that everyone in the city can come out—almost like a reunion or a homecoming.” Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will be joined by Michael Franti & Spearhead, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Mannie Fresh, New Breed Brass Band, and many more special guests to be announced.

“My whole purpose with the Hometown Threauxdown is to celebrate the culture, the music and the spirit of New Orleans with some friends who love it all as much as I do,” continues Shorty, “and my hope is everyone can rise above our differences to try and keep the City moving forward.”

Tickets are available here and start at just $29.50.

The 5 O’Clock Band Hits the Shelves

Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews once again teams up with award winning illustrator Bryan Collier to craft another unforgettable love letter to his home city of New Orleans. In this companion to the Caldecott Honor and Coretta Scott King Award–winning Trombone Shorty, join a scrappy young musician named Shorty on a tour of his beloved New Orleans. After letting his band down by missing rehearsal, Shorty has some serious questions about what it means to be a leader. He hits the streets of New Orleans to find some answers and soak up inspiration. Along the way he’ll meet street musicians, a favorite restaurant owner, and the famous Mardi Gras Indians. Each has some NOLA-bred wisdom to share with Shorty about being an artist, a leader, and a friend.

The 5 O’Clock Band hits the shelves June 19th, 2018 through ABRAMS Books and can be found wherever books are sold.
