New Orleans’ horn-blowing Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue is returning to the Lower Mainland.
The band opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers at the Rogers Arena in March, and they will be headlining this summer’s Burnaby Blues + Roots Festival in Deer Lake Park on August 12.
Last year between 4,000 and 5,000 people attended the festival, up 1,000 from the year before.
This year Juno nominee and two-time European Blues Awards winner Matt Andersen will take the stage. British Columbia-natives Sue Foley, Leeroy Stagger, Jesse Roper, Murray Porter, Jesse Waldman and Kaya Kurz will also be performing.
Tickets go on sale Friday, April 28 at noon.
