Trombone Shorty’s summer tour begins in June with four performances on the East Coast joined by Yola, Mavis Staples and Robert Randolph Band. The tour will continue throughout July and August in the Midwest and West Coast with Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, co-headliner Ziggy Marley, Mavis Staples, Robert Randolph Band and Devon Gilfillian.
In addition to this summer headlining tour, he will also perform the closing set at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival this May and a show Saturday, April 29 at The Saenger Theatre.
Shorty has stayed busy recently releasing his album, Lifted, last April and performing “Shotgun” at the MusiCares Person of the Year event honoring Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson during Grammy week this month. He also performed at the Grammy Salute to Paul Simon Concert which aired last December on CBS. Additional television appearances in 2022 included the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, ESPN’s Sportscenter, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Good Morning America.
Locally, he has contributed to philanthropic efforts like the Tunes for Toys during the holidays as well as brought young musicians to Cuba in January. Notably, he also led the Second Line in honor of recently passed New Orleans legend, Walter “Wolfman” Washington. Last week he hosted his third annual Shorty Gras concert following the Krewe of Freret Parade, which featured his own parade float.
