Shorty Fest Presented by Acura will take place at Tipitina’s on Monday, April 28! Brought to you by the Trombone Shorty Foundation with support from Gia Maione Prima Foundation and Tip-It Foundation, the 12th Annual Shorty Fest Presented by Acura is our way of bringing the community together to preserve the future of our music culture. This year’s musical lineup features performances by Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue, Black Opry Revue, “The Jersey Takeover” with Dogs in a Pile and special guests Robert Randolph and Jake Clemons (of the E Street Band Tour), and students from the Trombone Shorty Academy. Our FREE outdoor “Cultural Block Party” starts at 5pm. The Block Party celebrates the city’s rich cultural heritage in a uniquely New Orleans way—joyfully out in the street! Tipitina’s will block off Napoleon Avenue in front of the venue and welcome music fans of all ages to join in. We’ll have food trucks, a family friendly kids’ area, Silent Auction and VIP access tent on the neutral ground, and a special induction into the Tipitina’s “Walk of Fame” for this year’s recipient, Shannon Powell.
