Trombone Shorty and New Years Eve 2011

Trombone Shorty and the rest of his Jazz/Funk band Orleans Avenue are going to ring in the new year with back-to-back performances at The Fillmore on December 30th and 31st, 2011. If you haven't heard of this phenomenal group, it is time to get acquainted. Take a listen to the opening piece ("Buckjump") from the new album (For True) and I guarantee you won't be able to sit still.

Next, step into the world of Trombone Shorty and see how he gets down. This is the latest single "Do To Me" from his most recent album For True.

If you're anything like me, you'll feel compelled to see this show live. Luckily for us (in the Bay) Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue will be performing TWICE in less than a week (tickets). Just as a warning, I tried to go this show last February when they came to town, and it sold out fast. Need another incentive? Check out the sweet poster The Fillmore gave out for the last show (I'm assuming they'll do the same for this show as it will sell out).

So if you're in the Bay this upcoming New Years, or just happen to get the opportunity to see a Trombone Shorty performance, don't miss out!

Enjoy the music! Go to the shows! Support the artist!
