Shorty is Pollstar's HotStar

Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, a 525 client co-managed with Mike Kappus at The Rosebud Agency, are on the cover of the current Pollstar and profiled in the mag's Hotstar section.

Written by Joe Reinartz, the feature says in part: "'I saw him a few years ago at a club during Jazz Fest,' co-manager Mike Kappus told Pollstar. 'He just took the stage and the energy level shot up. It never went down. It was just constant intensity and great playing.'

Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews is taking his first steps of a lifelong career. He is 23 years old but he has already playedalongside U2 and Green Day at the Superdome, and traveled Europe both with Lenny Kravitz and with the New Birth Brass Band, led by his brother James.

He has an award-winning documentary based upon his music, been lauded by Wynton Marsalis, Lenny Kravitz and Allen Toussaint, and he’s played in front of audiences since the age of 4.

Meanwhile, with the guidance from co-managers Dave Bartlett and Matt Cornell at 525 Worldwide, Andrews and his band are working on their first full-length before doing the late-night talk show circuit."
