Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue bring their explosive mix of funk, jazz, soul and rock to The Fillmore Charlotte, performing tracks from their latest album 'Lifted'.
Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue play The Fillmore Charlotte on Sunday, October 11, at 8 PM. It's a return to Charlotte for the New Orleans-born band, and they're bringing the same mix of funk, jazz, soul and rock they've built their name on.
Shorty is the stage name of Troy Andrews, who leads the band and plays both trombone and trumpet. He describes the sound as 'Supafunkrock,' a label that fits the way the set pulls from several traditions at once. The show will feature tracks from his latest Grammy-nominated album, Lifted, so you'll hear the newer material alongside the older stuff that's become a staple of their live sets. He's a Grammy nominee himself, and he's known for the energy he brings to the stage and for switching between the two horns throughout the night.

The Fillmore is an intimate room with standing-room general admission on the main floor and an elevated balcony, so you've got a choice between being right in the thick of it or watching from above. One thing to keep in mind before you head out: it's a cashless venue, which means they only take card payments for drinks and merch, so leave the cash at home. The show starts at 8 PM on Sunday, October 11.
