Every once in a blue moon along comes someone who can merge the forces of virtuosity and exuberance and unleash them on an unsuspecting public. The latest in this exclusive line of blue moon arrivals is Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews. Andrews plays trombone and trumpet. He is a man to be reckoned with on both. A product of New Orleans’ culturally rich Treme neighborhood Andrews was a bandleader by the age of 6. While Andrews was navigating New Orleans as a youngster with his band in tow he was also absorbing lessons at the knee of his older brother James a dynamic musical performer known as "Satchmo of the Ghetto." It is safe to say that by the time Andrews hit his early teens he had a PhD in the ways of the streets which you can still hear in his music. But he has also grown into a performer emanating elegance and class; gleaned from his successful studies at the prestigious New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts NOCCA. As a graduate he joined the ranks of other grads like Wynton and Branford Marsalis Harry Connick Jr. and Nicholas Payton._____________________ TROMBONE SHORTY & Orleans Avenue Appearing Live at Moes Alley Sunday May 24th Blues Festival Afterparty Jam 9:00 PM $20
