Come party like a rockstar on Friday, May 1st with Trombone Shorty &
Orleans Avenue at Tipitina?s French Quarter!

A junior virtuoso and popular entertainer by the time he entered grade
school, Troy ?Trombone Shorty? Andrews ranks among New Orleans?
brightest stars. From the streets of New Orleans' culturally rich
Treme neighborhood, to the horn section for Lenny Kravitz world tour,
Troy ?Trombone Shorty? Andrews? performances transcend the boundaries
of generations and classification, as fans shake their heads to the
high-octane super funk rock beat. Nominated ?2007 Performer of the
Year? by New Orleans?s Offbeat Magazine at the age of 21, Troy
?Trombone Shorty? Andrews shows no sign of stopping.

Orleans Avenue is Troy ?Trombone Shorty? Andrews? funk/pop/hip-hop
project alongside musicians who, like Andrews, are young in years
only. With Mike Ballard on bass, Pete Murano on guitar, Dan
Oestreicher on baritone sax, Joey Peebles on drums and Dwayne Williams
on percussion, Orleans Avenue effortlessly combines both timeless
virtuosity and youthful exuberance. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue?s
contemporary hip-hop/rock?n?roll/funk mix brings the heat winding
audiences up in merry confusion.

Don?t miss this high energy and highly contagious performance at
Tipitina?s French Quarter!

And remember, this year the Backbeat Jazzfest Series will be offering
music lovers and the musicians they love smoke-free environments at
all shows.

Advance tickets are $20 and can be purchased at www.nolafunk.com/nola
or www.ticketweb.com.
