New Orleans native Troy Andrews fronts funk/rock/jazz/hip-hop band Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. He began his career as a bandleader at the young age of 6 and spent his teens playing with various brass bands throughout New Orleans and touring worldwide with Lenny Kravitz. Trombone Shorty released his most recent album, “Parking Lot Symphony,” in 2017 and his 2011 album, “For True,” topped Billboard’s Contemporary Jazz chart for 12 weeks. He has backed Macklemore and Madonna at the Grammys, played on albums by Zac Brown and Dierks Bentley, opened tours for Daryl Hall & John Oates and Red Hot Chili Peppers and played the annual fest-closing set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
