TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVENUE 

Already achieving “legend” status in his native New Orleans, Trombone Shorty (birth name Troy Andrews) got his nickname at the tender age of 6 … when he was already a band leader. In the two decades that have followed, with help from his band Orleans Avenue, Shorty has released critically acclaimed records, played pretty much any festival that you can imagine, and has collaborated with everyone from U2 to Green Day to Lenny Kravitz to Jeff Beck to Kid Rock. Blending genres like funk, soul, rock, jazz, R&B, and rap with ease, we are here to tell you these guys bring the motha fuckin’ party, and if it’s anything like their Music City stop last year, this will be one of the best shows of 2015. Trust us. YOU… NEED… TO… BE… THERE.

NEW BREED BRASS BAND 

Fellow New Orleans natives, New Breed Brass Band don’t just talk the talk, in terms of their hometown’s musical heritage, they walk the walk. They live and breath the culture, infusing funk, rock, jazz, and hip-hop into a custom-made, one-of-a-kind enhancement of second-line brass band tradition. With a line-up that swells to nine members at times, New Breed have been building a name for themselves, and rocking the party everywhere they go, including Bonnaroo 2015. Have a taste below, and get to Marathon early the day of the show to get as much New Orleans inspired tunage as possible.
