Trombone Shorty brings Big Easy to Grass Valley
GRASS VALLEY — On Aug. 5 New Orleans icon and ambassador Trombone Shorty brings some Big Easy flavor to The Marisa Funk Theater at The Center For the Arts, 314 West Main St. in Grass Valley. His live shows are known for their raw power and exhilarating energy, and he will be showcasing tracks from his latest album, the critically-acclaimed “Lifted.” Recorded at his own Buckjump Studio, “Lifted” sees Shorty and his bandmates crash through funk, soul and psychedelic rock with transcendent performances, set to bold songwriting that explores grit and determination in hard times.
