Tickets will go on sale soon via etix for $20.
Even if you're not familiar with Trombone Shorty, you may recognize him from an appearance on the short-lived Aaron Sorkin television show Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, where he appropriately played a New Orleans jazz musician. Check out him leading the band in "Oh Holy Night" below.
