[JAZZ] There’s a lot going on with this one. The brains behind this show is Trombone Shorty, who has curated a line up of acts and musicians from his hometown of New Orleans. The whole idea is to celebrate the tricentennial anniversary of the city by touring around the country, bringing the New Orleans experience wherever they go. The headliners of the show are Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue—the band that Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews formed in 2009. They’ll be joined by funk band Galactic, marching party-band Preservation Hall Jazz Band, the New Breed Brass Band, as well as Cyril Neville and Walter Wolfman Washington—who all hail from the Big Easy. The tour, dubbed Voodoo Threauxdown, comes to Artpark on Tuesday, August 14.
