Hailing from Seattle, Noah Gundersen and the Courage recently played a sold-out show at the famed Triple Door in Seattle and are presently on many people’s “band-to-watch” list.
The band also features Sisters Native Travis Ehrenstrom on bass.
Talented young artists of the Sisters Americana Project will perform an opening set prior to Gundersen’s, celebrating the excellence of their original music as the program moves into it’s tenth year through the Sisters
Folk Festival.
Rare indeed is the artist with the virtuosity to draw the unqualified respect of some of the most iconic legends in jazz and the ability to deliver a high-energy funk rock show capable of mesmerizing international rock stars. Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews is one such artist - and there is no one else like him.
Trombone Shorty is equally adept on trombone and trumpet and is a man to be reckoned with on both.
A product of New Orleans' culturally rich Treme neighborhood
, Trombone Shorty was a bandleader by the age of six.
While navigating New Orleans with his band in tow, he was also absorbing lessons from his older brother James, a dynamic musical performer known as "Satchmo of the Ghetto."
By the time Trombone Shorty was twelve, he had a Ph.D. in the ways of the streets, which you can still hear in his music.
