Featuring DJ Soul Sister

Troy Andrews is a presence on stage, especially when playing in his hometown for the first time in 4 months, never mind at Tipitinas.  The 23-year-old horn player leads his band, Trombone Shorty and Orleans Ave, with trombone, trumpet, vocals and, occasionally, guitar.   It had been a while since I've seen the band play and I was looking forward to it, the night being a marked event.  It was DJ Soul Sista's birthday bash, and believe me, it was one to remember.  There are few musical performers that can get a crowd so pumped they're begging for more at 3 am, but these two together sure did the trick.  With Soul Sista spinning the turn tables and Shorty amping up the crowd with his multi-faceted performance, I can safely say that this was one of the best shows I've seen.  I would highly recommend you clear your schedule for the next time either one of these artists play in town.
