On Friday, Aug. 19, at 8 p.m., The Clyde will open its stage to New Orleans’ trombonist, composer, bandleader, author, and philanthropist Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.
Fueled by a bottom-heavy rhythm section, buoyant keys, and bright flashes of brass, Trombone Shorty channels exhilarating grooves and raw power into a series of tight, explosive performances, blurring the lines between funk, soul, R&B, and psychedelic rock. Perfect for The Clyde!
You may have caught him a couple weeks ago on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert performing “Lifted,” the title track off his new album released in April.
General admission tickets can be purchased online at clydetheatre.com, by calling (800) 514-3849, or visiting The Clyde box office, all Wooden Nickel Records locations, Neat Neat Neat Records, and Sweetwater Sound.
This will be a good one, and it’s even a Friday night for crying out loud.
