The Trombone Shorty Foundation and the Gia Maione Prima Foundation are
proud to present... the 6th Annual "Tunes for Toys" event at
Tipitina's, Thursday December 19! This annual toy drive and concert is
a spectacular way for the community to give back this holiday season,
plus experience a night of incredible live music from our young
Academy students with special guest Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews
himself, as well as opening performances by Hot 8 Brass Band and New
Breed Brass Band.
This event is open to the public (ages 18+ only), but guests must
bring a toy in exchange for admission. Doors open at 7pm, live music
starting at 8pm. The Trombone Shorty Foundation Academy students are
sure to deliver the standout performance of the night, at many of the
students' first time on the historic Tipitina's stage. There's no
better time of year to spread the joy while witnessing the next
generation of New Orleans musical talent!
The evening is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Gia
Maione Prima Foundation and JP Morgan Chase. “This event is very
special to my heart,” says Foundation founder Troy “Trombone Shorty”
Andrews. “We love being able to showcase our Academy students’ hard
work, and, at the same time, give back to children in communities like
the Treme, where I was born and raised.” The toys will be distributed
on December 20th at Warren Easton High School at an event called "Toys
from Troy," presented by JP Morgan Chase. There will also be
refreshments, kids activities, and photos with Santa from 1pm-3:30pm.
