Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

During the heart of festival season, Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will take the stage of the Saenger, for his annual headlining appearance at the legendary venue. The funk rockers, led by Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews on vocals, trombone, and trumpet, first made their Saenger debut in 2015 and have made it an annual tradition ever since. The performance—called Treme Threauxdown—always comes with special guests, which in the past have included Usher, Dierks Bentley, Andra Day, Nick Jonas, Wyclef Jean, Jon Batiste, Allen Toussaint, Juvenile, Dr John, CeeLo, Ivan and Cyril Neville, Terence Blanchard, Preservation Hall Jazz Band and Dirty Dozen Brass Band. This year's a mystery so far, but have faith. Tickets start at $49.50. 9:30 pm. saengernola.com or (504) 525-1052.
