Overview

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Mavis Staples will no longer appear at NJPAC on October 23. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will perform as scheduled, and we look forward to welcoming you for a wonderful evening of music.

Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue embody the heart-pumping, foot-stomping soul of New Orleans. Breathing new life into the brass band tradition, his sound swirls together funk, rock, blues, jazzy improvisational genius and all the joyful swagger of hip hop. This year, the GRAMMY® winner received a fifth nomination for his exhilarating album Second Line Sunday. Wherever he performs — the White House, the Super Bowl, MSG, even Sesame Street — New Orleans is in the house!  Abraham Alexander opens the show.
