Grammy-winning bandleader Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue plan to ignite Steinmetz Hall with a brassy blast of New Orleans jazz, funk and soul.

Born Troy Andrews in New Orleans, Shorty debuted at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival at age 4 and has since toured the world. Backed by Orleans Avenue, he brings punchy horn lines and deep grooves, as heard on his own 2022 album, Lifted, and alongside collaborators like Lenny Kravitz, Bruno Mars and even Foo Fighters. This promises to be a full-throttle celebration straight from the Crescent City.

7:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, Steinmetz Hall at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $46.61-$182.90.
