Trombone Shorty and StubHub's Next Stage Concert Series

A Jazz funk band with a hip hop/rock edge is a description that exemplifies Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave. If you are a jazz lover and truly enjoy eclectic music that fuse different genres, then take some time to check out this great group. The group's band leader - Trombone Shorty hails from New Orleans and that southern groove is definitely felt in the many of the tunes the group plays. It's almost as if Lenny Kravitz created a jam band. You can download and listen to their latest album here.

It just so happens that Trombone Shorty & Orleans Ave will be visiting the Windy city for a concert supporting a great cause! They will be performing at Lincoln Hall for StubHubs Next Stage Concert Series benefiting music programs in Chicago's schools on Sept. 8, 2015 - show starts at 7pm and Trombone Shorty is set to hit the stage at 8:15pm. This is a great opportunity to enjoy great music and do some good in the process! Tickets are $59.50 and can be purchased online here.

100% of proceeds from this event will benefit The Mr. Holland’s Opus Foundation and the Trombone Shorty Foundation in StubHub’s first self-produced, self-ticketed live concert series! StubHub is taking music to the next stage in its biggest music initiative yet to support emerging artists while giving access to the true music fan. Chicago schools benefiting from full ticket proceeds of the benefit concert as well as a portion of an initial $250,000 provided to MHOF by StubHub include Kelly High School (grades 9-12), George Westinghouse College Prep (grades 9-12) and Alexander Graham Elementary (grades K-8).
