“Might Not Make It Home” (PDF) from the Trombone Shorty album, Lifted

In what might be the most underrated track from the album Lifted, “Might Not Make It Home” captures the sound of Trombone Shorty as a fully-developed artist, free of any genre-defining labels, launched into a stratosphere somewhere between Earth, Wind & Fire and Parliament/Funkadelic. And yet, Trombone Shorty’s musical roots remain firmly planted in New Orleans.

In the Summer of 2022, Trombone Shorty’s Voodoo Threauxdown will return to the road for an extended American tour featuring New Orleans’ brightest stars, as well as a tribute to The Meters and The Neville Brothers. The Voodoo Threauxdown tour will perhaps be the most actualized depiction of Trombone Shorty’s artistic vision of the self-described style of music known as supafunkrock.

Here is a YouTube trailer for the Voodoo Threauxdown tour:
