New York, NY (Top40 Charts) On Monday, the "unstoppable force" (The NY Times) known as Trombone Shorty performed the high-energy rock-n-roll anthem "I'm Standing Here" from his new album Lifted (Blue Note) on Jimmy Kimmel Live! This is Shorty's third TV 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.
Shorty is currently on his tremendous Voodoo Threauxdown tour; a truly unique event 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 NYC's Central Park Summerstage and Red Rocks Amphitheater, and will visit The Hollywood Bowl tonight, August 10. Shorty will continue touring throughout the fall to promote his first album of original music in five years, Lifted. Lifted harnesses the raw power and exhilarating grooves of his 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 Shorty's surprise appearance at the finale of the 2022 Newport Jazz Festival just last week. 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 Marc attested "I can't remember the last time I heard a power horn band like that."
Trombone Shorty (born Troy 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; collaborated across genres with Pharrell, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Foo Fighters, ZHU, Zac Brown, Normani, Ringo Star, and countless others; played Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, Newport Jazz, and nearly every other major festival; appeared on dozens of tv 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.
