The Red Hot Chili Peppers have announced new North American tour dates for 2017, and Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue have been named as direct support. Every ticket purchased for the tour includes a choice of a standard physical or standard digital copy of the Red Hot Chili Peppers new album, The Getaway.
The Heinz Family Foundation today named Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews the recipient of the prestigious 21 st Heinz Award in the Arts and Humanities category in recognition of his achievements as a musician and for his community work to protect and pass on to younger generations the rich musical heritage of New Orleans.
In announcing the awards, Teresa Heinz said, “Troy Andrews is extraordinary not only as a talented and innovative musician but as a man who shares his talents and enthusiasm to preserve the rich musical legacy of New Orleans and the wellbeing of his hometown. His joy and enthusiasm are contagious and his commitment to his community is exemplary. Mr. Andrews instills his love of music among New Orleans youth, and with children and adults around the world who have been moved by his unique and uplifting fusion of many different musical genres.”
In the new issue of OffBeat Magazine, writer John Swenson responds to publisher Jan Ramsey’s lamentation about the passing of a generation of New Orleans musical icons, such as Allen Toussaint.
In the piece, Swenson writes: “Right now Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue are as good at live performance as any band on planet Earth. At age 30, Troy Andrews has achieved a plateau of excellence that most artists never reach in a lifetime.”

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will roll out a new limited-edtion poster this month, available only at shows.

The poster is a 7-colors, with shimmery metallics, flourescent ink, and a split fountain on white Cougar stock and printed in a limited run of 150 copies.
