Yesterday was one of the biggest Wednesday at the Square concerts of the year, with New Orleans superstar Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue headlining the free show. Even Mayor Mitch Landrieu made an appearance, hanging out both back- and on-stage. The Hot 8 Brass band opened the concert. Next week’s performance, the second to last for 2012, features Walter “Wolfman” Washington with Billy Iuso opening.
