Summer of Jazz July 14th

Presenting Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue

Trombone ShortyAnother week of jazz is upon us and this weeks band is going to knock your socks off! Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will be taking the stage at Two Rivers Park at 7pm. According to the bands website it states, " Trombone Shorty is an artist who can draw both the unqualified respect of jazz legends and deliver a high-energy rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars and audiences alike. With such an unprecedented mix of rock, funk, jazz, hip-hop and soul, he had to create his own name to describe his signature sound: Supafunkrock!" I have personally seen this band perform in years past at this event and their performance at Summer of Jazz is phenomenal! They create an energy in the park that makes you want to get up and dance. If you are looking to spice up your Wednesday night with some fun, don’t miss this performance tonight! See you there!
