The Bandshell (in Prospect Park), Brooklyn
Troy “TROMBONE SHORTY” Andrews, “New Orleans’ brightest new star in a generation,” (SF Chronicle) and his untouchable band whip up “a near-deafening, funk-charged blast of percussion, brass, reeds and guitar distortion” (Washington Post) that unites the Crescent City’s past and future. The soulful local favorite DAYNA KURTZ, who released two albums simultaneously this spring, gets things started, and THE BROOKLYN STEPPERS MARCHING BAND swings by for an explosive drum line interlude.
