Huge thanks to Relix for capturing the spirit of this year’s Music on the Mountain. Watching our Trombone Shorty Foundation students kick off a weekend filled with music, community, and connection was incredibly meaningful. ✨

For many of these young musicians, this wasn’t just another performance. It was an opportunity to travel, collaborate, experience a different music community, and represent the culture and spirit of New Orleans. Seeing second lines roll through the mountains of Vermont alongside artists we deeply admire is something none of us will forget. 🎺

Grateful to our partners at The Phoenix and Divided Sky Foundation for creating a space where music truly brings people together. And proud of our students for showing up with so much heart, soul, and joy all weekend long. Read the article at the link in our bio!

Last night, and played host to Shorty Fest: the 13th annual conjuring of music and Big Easy energy was put on by & Orleans Avenue, featuring performances by & La Tribu and special guests, and ’s JoJo Hermann, and more.

Big thanks to for capturing the memories and sharing his shots from the night.
Tonight at Shorty Fest Presented by Acura, we’re honored to welcome back a member of the family — Jon Batiste — joining Trombone Shorty on stage.

Before the world knew his name, Jon was part of Orleans Avenue. Now, he returns as one of the most celebrated artists of his generation — a powerful reminder of what’s possible when the culture is passed down, lifted up, and carried forward.

This is what the Trombone Shorty Foundation is all about — building community, and preparing the next generation to carry New Orleans music into the future.

If you’re here tonight, you’re part of that story. ✨
