Today marks the release of new music featuring Trombone Shorty plus members of Orleans Avenue backing Little Big Town on “Jambalaya (On The Bayou).” This is the first studio collaboration teaming Little Big Town with Trombone Shorty. The two acts first performed together at the 2016 ACM Awards, delivering a show-stopping highlight. They also shared the stage at the 2019 CMT Awards, along with Thomas Rhett. Now, they’ve teamed up again to put their spin on this Hank Williams-penned classic, as originally recorded for the CBS TV special “United We Sing: A Grammy Salute to the Unsung Heroes” hosted by Harry Connick Jr.

Trombone Shorty is slated to be part of UNITED WE SING: A GRAMMY® TRIBUTE TO THE UNSUNG HEROES Sunday June 21 at 8pm/7c on CBS. The show features GRAMMY and Emmy Award-winning singer and actor Harry Connick, Jr. and his filmmaker daughter, Georgia Connick, as they take a road trip in an RV to thank and celebrate essential workers who risk their own lives on a daily basis to keep us safe.
Connick highlights the contributions of these everyday heroes with the help of Shorty and other celebrity friends, including Sandra Bullock, Drew Brees, Queen Latifah, Brad Pitt, Oprah Winfrey and Renée Zellweger, who deliver surprise messages to America’s unsung heroes. Additionally, the special will feature performances by Jon Batiste, Harry Connick, Jr., Andra Day, John Fogerty, Jamie Foxx, Herbie Hancock, Cyndi Lauper, Little Big Town, Branford Marsalis, Wynton Marsalis, Dave Matthews, Tim McGraw, Rockin Dopsie, and Irma Thomas.
The special will invite donors to contribute to charities that support underserved children, such as No Kid Hungry and the Ellis Marsalis Center for Music in New Orleans, as well as to the MusiCares® COVID-19 Relief Fund, a charitable organization of the Recording Academy.
UNITED WE SING: A GRAMMY TRIBUTE TO THE UNSUNG HEROES was filmed with a minimal crew practicing social distancing and with extensive safety precautions in place.
Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated actress Angela Bassett joins the SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s Storyline Online cast of readers this month, bringing to life the true story of Grammy-nominated New Orleans musician Troy Andrews in Trombone Shorty, a new read-aloud for the Emmy-nominated children’s literacy program.
Written by Trombone Shorty himself, and illustrated by Corretta Scott King Illustrator Award winner Bryan Collier, this vibrant 2016 Caldecott Honor book, published by Abrams Books for Young Readers, is an invigorating tale of music, cuisine, culture and family.
Featuring original music compositions written and performed by Shorty and the band and used courtesy of The Universal Music Group and Round Hill Music, Trombone Shorty is a journey of ambition, determination and talent, weaving together a multilayered experience for young readers, and exploring not just Andrews’ story, but the musical heritage and traditional foods of New Orleans.

Over the past decade, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have played over 2,000 shows around the world, many of them at independently-owned venues here in the USA. These stages are where they’ve rocked out and earned a lot of their fans, and today these venues need our help.
Please hit the link below and help support the NIVA – National Independent Venue Association as they seek critical help from Washington D.C. so they can stay open and we can tour again, get their roll on and say “Thank you music lovers!” to all their fans.
On April 25, 2020 Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will return to the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans for one of the city’s hottest shows of the entire year: the Sixth Annual Treme Threauxdown. Guest stars will be announced in the next few weeks, but over the past five installments the Threauxdown has hosted everyone from Usher to Dierks Bentley and from Nick Jonas to Andra Day—plus many other surprise guest artists from New Orleans and beyond.

At the 2019 installment alone, the Threauxdown included guest appearances by Shaggy, Lauren Daigle, Boz Scaggs, Anthony Hamilton, Aloe Blacc, Leon Bridges, Jon Batiste, G Love, and Anders Osborne.
Hot on the heels of Trombone Shorty’s recent trip to Havana, Cuba with his own music education foundation, this year he is extremely excited to bring Cuban rock star Cimafunk back to New Orleans to open the Threauxdown. Cimafunk has been called the James Brown of Cuba, and was named to Billboard‘s 10 Latin Artists to Watch in 2019 list, with the magazine calling him “Cuba’s revelation of the year.”
