Get Involved – Trombone Shorty Foundation

Big Love To Acura

Shorty Fest is Presented by Acura. Acura has a long history with music and musicians beyond its support of the New Orleans music and arts scene. Acura has helped the GRAMMY’s MusiCares Foundation provide critical assistance to the music community through services and resources covering a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies. Music has served as a powerful soundtrack to Acura’s Precision Crafted Performance through a selection of artists and tracks that share the energy and emotion of the brand and vehicles. Acura has been the official vehicle partner of the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival for 18 years, presenting The Acura Main Stage that has hosted legendary musicians each year. Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews has closed out the Acura Main Stage for the last 5 years.

Become a Shorty Fest Sponsor

The foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, Shorty Fest, is a gathering of friends and music-lovers to support continued access to music education, mentorship, and performance to talented New Orleans youth. Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews and Orleans Avenue headline with an eclectic lineup of jazz, blues, funk, and soul acts, including our very own Trombone Shorty Academy students. To sponsor the event and give back to the community, please contact Executive Director Bill Taylor by email or by phone at 504.214.9554. Shorty Fest is made possible by the generous participation of our sponsors. Past participants include Acura, Oskar Blues Brewery, Spread Music Now, and more.
