Trombone Shorty, who plays Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Florida on Oct. 6, 2024.

At six feet tall, Troy Andrews’s no shorty anymore. But when Bo Diddley gives you a nickname onstage at New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, that’s what you go by even after college.

The 38-year-old trombonist and trumpeter best known as Trombone Shorty hasn’t done a non-festival appearance in Tampa Bay since a 2017 slot at Jannus Live, and if you caught him there, or in 2022 at either Clearwater Jazz Holiday or Gasparilla Music Festival, you’ll remember the lack of A/C being a common factor.

Not the case this time when Andrews and his nine-piece Orleans Avenue hit the stage at the intimate Hard Rock Event Center.

Tickets to see Trombone Shorty play Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Sunday, Oct. 6 are still available and start at $70.
