Trombone Shorty

Virtuoso trombonist and trumpeter Trombone Shorty brings Mardi Gras wherever he goes. His charismatic showmanship and renowned “Supafunkrock” sound create an immaculate party atmosphere for getting down to brass-band beats and hard-edged funk. All-star lineups bring together longtime collaborators, guest artists, and friends for must-see performances that capture the heart and soul of New Orleans. Lighting Director Josh Rowe incorporates fast-paced and powerful lighting effects to join the party. He matches the energy on stage with plenty of strobes, immense amounts of front light, and improvisational skills to match the energy and movement of both the crowd and band members.  

Summer tours require a major time crunch for the artists and crew racing from morning load-in to evening doors on this nonstop rolling freight train of funk. Bringing a rig with a wide capability is paramount for these tours to diversify what Pulse can do for the artists, while leaving enough on the bone for a raucous Trombone Shorty set.
