Trombone Shorty is gearing up to celebrate a major milestone: his 40th birthday and concert at the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans on April 25. Dubbed "Shorty Turns 40," the event marks the Treme Threauxdown concert's 10-year anniversary, and it promises to be an unforgettable night of music.
The concert is part of Jazz Fest, a celebration of all things musical in the city, and boasts an incredible lineup that includes Orleans Avenue, Branford Marsalis, Ivan Neville, George Porter Jr. of the Meters, Irma Thomas, Eric Church, Leon Bridges, Joan Jett, Grace Potter, Jill Scott, and many more special guests.
Shorty's music career is already filled with notable achievements, including helping reunite the legendary New Orleans band the Meters in 2013. The musician recalled that his cousin initially doubted his ability to bring the group back together after a 30-year hiatus, but Shorty persevered and ultimately succeeded in reuniting the iconic band.
Now, he's inviting fans to join him for an unforgettable celebration of music, friendship, and his own birthday. Tickets are now on sale, and fans can expect a spectacular night of live performances from some of the biggest names in jazz, rock, and country music.

he's had such an amazing career already, like helpin the meters come back together was a huge deal 
i'm def gettin tickets to his concert at saenger theatre on april 25!! 
! I love how they're celebratin' his birthday and the Meters' reunion at the same time - it's like the ultimate NOLA bash! And can you believe all the guest spots? Joan Jett and Eric Church, y'all? That's some serious musical magic 
. I'm sure Shorty's gonna bring the house down with that trombone blowin' 
... it's gonna be a night to remember for sure!
Shorty's 40th bday is gonna be a party to remember! it's crazy how he was able to bring back the Meters after all those years, my mom loves that band and she's been waiting forever for them to get back together 
. i mean, the lineup for this concert is insane - jazz, rock, country... who would've thought you could get Joan Jett on the same bill as jazz legends? 
, 40 already? Time flies when you're having fun... or so I guess 
. Don't get me wrong, Trombone Shorty is a talented musician and all, but this concert just seems like another example of how the music industry is all about nostalgia and cashing in on anniversaries 
. I mean, 10 years of Jazz Fest? That's just a marketing gimmick to make us feel old 
. And what's with all these special guests? It's just an excuse for them to perform for a hefty fee 
. Don't get me wrong, I love good music as much as the next person 
, but sometimes I think we're more focused on the hype than the actual artistry 
.
? Like, I was at a BBQ party last summer and we were all munching on these amazing pulled pork sandwiches and suddenly, the flavors just popped! It's like your taste buds are doing the happy dance 
. And now I'm thinking about how Trombone Shorty's going to have so many amazing musicians around him on his birthday... can you imagine the food at that party? 
. He's already had some HUGE accomplishments in his music career, and now he's inviting us to join him for 40 years of awesomeness?!?! That's, like, the ultimate party 
! I'm def buying tix ASAP 
...I've been rocking out to that jazz fest vibe since it first started 
it's so cute! i was thinking about how penguins are actually really good swimmers, like, way better than me on my scooter 
. anyway back to Trombone Shorty... I'm glad he got the Meters back together, that's like, super cool! 
i've been to some of his shows before and he just gets the crowd going like no one else can. this saenger theatre concert sounds like it's gonna be EPIC! 
and did u know trombone shorty helped reunite the meters in 2013?? 
btw, has anyone been to jazz fest before? 
but seriously, shorty's accomplishments are insane - reuniting the meters is like a major feat in music history. plus he's still killing it out there on his trombone 
. I mean, he's already got 10 years under his belt with the Treme Threauxdown concert, and now he's inviting all of us to come celebrate two decades of him doing what he loves best: making music that gets people moving in NOLA! It's like he's asking us to join a party that's been going on for over a decade – only instead of the usual debauchery, it's gonna be good ol' fashioned jazz and rock 'n' roll. And let's not forget, this concert is part of Jazz Fest, which is basically the ultimate celebration of civic pride in our great city 
What's your fave trombone solo tho? Shorty's got some of the sickest skills in the business
Can't believe Trombone Shorty is turnin' 40 and throwin' down at the Saenger Theatre! That's like me bein' 40 years older than him lol. But for real though, what a lineup they got goin' on. I mean, it's Jazz Fest in NOLA, so you know it's gonna be off the chain! 
... can't wait to see what he has planned for his bday concert...
