SUMMARY:Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue\, Abraham Alexander
DESCRIPTION:TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVE Born Troy Andrews\, Trombone Shorty got his start (and nickname) earlier than most: at four\, he made his first appearance at Jazz Fest performing with Bo Diddley; at six\, he was leading his own brass band; and by his teenage years\, he was hired by Lenny Kravitz to join the band he assembled for his Electric Church World Tour. Shortys proven hes more than just a horn player\, though. Catch a gig\, open the pages of the New York Times or Vanity Fair\, flip on any late-night or morning TV show and youll see an undeniable star with utterly magnetic charisma\, a natural born showman who can command an audience with the best of them. Since 2010\, hes released five chart topping studio albums (his most recent being 2022s Lifted); toured with everyone from Jeff Beck to the Red Hot Chili Peppers; collaborated across genres with Pharrell\, Bruno Mars\, Mark Ronson\, Foo Fighters\, ZHU\, Zac Brown\, Normani\, Ringo Starr\, and countless more; played Coachella\, Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, Newport Folk\, Newport Jazz\, and nearly every other major festival; performed four times at the GRAMMY Awards\, six times at the White House\, on dozens of TV shows\, and at the star-studded Sesame Street Gala\, where he was honored with his own Muppet; launched the Trombone Shorty Foundation to support youth music education; and received the prestigious Caldecott Honor for his first childrens book.ABRAHAM ALEXANDERWhen Abraham Alexander unspools his extraordinary life story\, it becomes clear that he should always trust his instincts. Each time he has\, something unknowable but amazing has happened for him.Born in Greece\, where he spent the early part of his life with the Acropolis as his playground\, Abraham was transplanted to Texas in the early 2000s at 11 years old to escape the ever present racial tension of his birthplace. Adopted in Texas after losing his mother in a car accident with a drunk driver\, Abraham became a sports nut who excelled on the pitch and had first set his sights on a career in soccer. A torn ACL sidelined thoseambitions but opened the door to a new path. A friend handed him a guitar during thisdowntime\, and\, without warning\, his soul was unlocked. Songs he did not know that he had in him poured out. A series of increasingly incrediblechance meetings\, including a life-changing encounter with Leon Bridges led him tonurture this newfound musical voraciousness. Those roads have converged on his newalbum Sea/Sons\, out now on Dualtone Records.*Reach out to info@therefinerychs.com if you have having trouble completing your ticket purchase* \nSale Dates and Times: \nPublic Onsale : Wed\, 26 Mar 2025 at 10:00 AM
