On August 8, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews performed the high-energy rock anthem “I’m Standing Here” from his new album, Lifted, on Jimmy Kimmel Live! This is Andrews’ third television performance in the past four months, having recently brought his signature brand of fiery New Orleans funk to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Good Morning America.

Andrews is currently on his Voodoo Threauxdown tour, and one that encompasses several generations of New Orleans talent on one stage. Featuring performances from Tank and the Bangas, Big Freedia, Cyril Neville the Uptown Ruler, The Soul Rebels, George Porter Jr and Dumpstaphunk, the Voodoo Threauxdown tour is not only a lesson in the city’s musical history but a vision of where that music is headed in the 21st century. The tour kicked off in June and made stops at New York’s Central Park Summerstage and Red Rocks Amphitheater in Denver. Andrews will continue touring throughout the fall to promote Lifted, his first album of original music in five years. Lifted harnesses the raw power and exhilarating grooves of Andrews’ legendary live shows, over ten tracks recorded at his own Buckjump Studio and features special guests Gary Clark Jr., Lauren Daigle and the New Breed Brass Band.

The tour comes on the heels of Andrews’ surprise appearance at the finale of the 2022 Newport Jazz Festival in July. Other highlights from the past few months include his first-ever Grammy win for Album of the Year for his work on childhood friend Jon Batiste’s album, an appearance on the Grammy Salute to Paul Simon (airing later this year on CBS), and an in-depth interview with Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, where Maron said, “I can’t remember the last time I heard a power horn band like that.”

Andrews is a native of New Orleans’ Tremé neighborhood and got his start earlier than most, performing at Jazz Fest with Bo Diddley at age four and leading his brass band at six. Since 2010, he’s released four chart-topping studio albums. He has collaborated across genres with Pharrell, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Foo Fighters, ZHU, Zac Brown, Normani, Ringo Star, and countless others and played Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, Newport Jazz, and nearly every other major festival. He has also appeared on dozens of television shows, and at the star-studded Sesame Street Gala, where he was honored with his own muppet. He recently made a cameo on The Simpsons, was profiled by Vanity Fair in 2021, and has been featured in campaigns for Crown Royal and Folgers.
