(Niagara Falls, ON) June 25, 2024 – Join us at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on Thursday, November 14 for a night of modern funk, jazz and rhythm with Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue. The showtime is at 8:30pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 28 at 10:00am through ticketmaster.ca.
“Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue are known for their energetic performances and their masterful mixing of funk, soul and R&B into a pure celebration of music,” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos. “Their ingenuity is mind blowing and so is their talent – we are beyond excited to bring this performance to the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino.”
Born Troy Andrews, Trombone Shorty got his start (and nickname) earlier than most: at four, he made his first appearance at Jazz Fest performing with Bo Diddley; at six, he was leading his own brass band; and by his teenage years, he was hired by Lenny Kravitz to join the band he assembled for his Electric Church World Tour. Shorty’s proven he’s more than just a horn player. Catch a gig, open the pages of the New York Times or Vanity Fair, flip on any late-night TV show and you’ll see an undeniable star with utterly magnetic charisma, a natural born showman who can command an audience with the best of them.
Since 2010, he’s released four chart topping studio albums; toured with everyone from Jeff Beck to the Red Hot Chili Peppers; collaborated across genres with Pharrell, Bruno Mars, Mark Ronson, Foo Fighters, ZHU, Zac Brown, Normani, Ringo Starr, and countless more; played Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Newport Folk, Newport Jazz, and nearly every other major festival; performed four times at the GRAMMY Awards, five times at the White House, on dozens of TV shows, and at the star-studded Sesame Street Gala, where he was honoured with his own Muppet; launched the Trombone Shorty Foundation to support youth music education; and received the prestigious Caldecott Honor for his first children’s book.
