Few artists embody the heart and soul of their city like Trombone Shorty. Perhaps the most recognizable ambassador for New Orleans music working today, Shorty has spent his entire life not only carrying the torch for Crescent City culture, but also propelling it forward into the 21st century with his ecstatic live performances and intoxicating blend of rock, funk, soul, jazz, blues, hip-hop, and Caribbean influences.
Born Troy Andrews, Shorty made his first appearance at New Orleans’ iconic Jazz Fest at the age of four, when he took the stage for an impromptu performance with Bo Diddley. By six, he was heading up his own brass band, and by his early twenties, he’d released the first in a string of critically acclaimed, chart-topping albums that would lead to performances everywhere from the White House and the Grammy Awards to Madison Square Garden and the 2025 Super Bowl. Along the way, Shorty would tour with artists as diverse as Jeff Beck and the Red Hot Chili Peppers; play Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, the Roots Picnic, and countless other festivals; perform alongside Juvenile on his instantly legendary NPR Tiny Desk Concert; earn his first Grammy Award; appear on The Tonight Show, The Late Show, Conan, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Good Morning America, Today, CNN, HBO’s Treme, and even an episode of The Simpsons; and collaborate with an eclectic mix of stars including Pharrell, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Jon Batiste, Lenny Kravitz, Foo Fighters, ZHU, Zac Brown, Normani and Ringo Starr.
On top of his relentless touring schedule, Shorty also managed to launch The Trombone Shorty Foundation in 2011, which supports youth music education in New Orleans and beyond (each year, he brings nearly 100 students on a cultural exchange trip to Cuba, where they join him and a host of special guests for workshops and performances with an all-star cast of Cuban musicians). Additionally, Shorty’s youth and cultural advocacy led him to release a pair of children’s books, the first of which earned the prestigious Caldecott Honor in 2016.
At home in New Orleans, Shorty now leads a beloved annual Mardi Gras parade atop a giant float crafted in his likeness, hosts the annual Treme Threauxdown shows (which have drawn guests including Usher, Nick Jonas, Mavis Staples, Dierks Bentley, Andra Day, and Leon Bridges), mentors younger artists like New Breed Brass Band (his 2025 collaboration with the group, Second Line Sunday, earned them both a Grammy nomination), and has taken over Jazz Fest’s hallowed final set, which has seen him closing out the internationally renowned gathering after performances by the likes of Neil Young, the Black Keys, and Kings of Leon.
Shorty brought that same festival energy to his latest album, 2022’s Lifted, which he recorded live at his own Buckjump Studio in New Orleans. Raw and exhilarating, the collection bottles the explosive power of his transcendent stage show, balancing raucous, joyful anthems with poignant reflections on loss and resilience. Like Shorty himself, it’s a living, breathing invitation to experience the magic of New Orleans for yourself, a transportive spiritual experience steeped in family, community, and tradition, with both eyes fixed firmly on the future.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones are a powerhouse soul ensemble from Alabama known for their electrifying live shows and impassioned vocals. Formed in Birmingham in 2011, the band features Paul Janeway (vocals), Jesse Phillips (bass), Browan Lollar (guitar), Kevin Leon (drums), Al Gamble (keyboards), Allen Branstetter (trumpet), Chad Fisher (trombone), and Amari Ansari (saxophone).
Their new self-titled sixth album marks a creative renewal—melding the band’s adventurous spirit with a return to soulful, song-focused roots. Recorded at the legendary FAME Studios and produced by Eg White (Adele, Celine Dion), the record blends psych-funk grooves, gospel-tinged ballads, and cinematic rock flourishes. Tracks like “Sushi and Coca-Cola” and “Going Back” reflect both personal introspection and the band’s deepened identity after a decade of evolution.
St. Paul & The Broken Bones have shared stages with The Rolling Stones, Lizzo, and Black Pumas, and performed at major festivals like Coachella, Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, and Bonnaroo. Even Sir Elton John took notice, inviting them to perform at his Oscar party. Blending rock & roll, soul, R&B, and more, the band continues to captivate audiences around the world.
Tré Burt is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter with Sacramento roots whose music bridges folk, soul, and Americana with unflinching emotional depth. Signed to John Prine’s Oh Boy Records, he emerged with the album Caught It From the Rye (2020), a lo-fi, poetic debut that established him as one of the label’s few new voices. His follow-up, You, Yeah, You (2021), written in isolation during the pandemic and produced by Brad Cook, explored grief, justice, and renewal through a richer sonic lens.
In 2023, Burt released Traffic Fiction, a bold expansion that blended rock, dub, and soul influences while remaining rooted in storytelling. The album wove in field recordings of conversations with his late grandfather, transforming memory into music and grief into light. Produced by Andrija Tokic in Nashville, it marked Burt’s most sonically adventurous work to date.
Now, Burt is stepping into a new creative era; self-contained, raw, and deeply personal. His forthcoming album, due in 2026, was entirely self-recorded, engineered, and mixed by Burt himself. The project finds him returning to his DIY beginnings with newfound confidence, exploring solitude, identity, and artistic independence. With this record, Tré Burt continues to redefine modern folk; restless, intimate, and unmistakably his own.
