Trombone Shorty and Orleans Avenue, Big Boi and Danielle Ponder

Grammy-winning horn player Trombone Shorty puts a New Orleans spin on everything he plays. Prowling the stage with his band, Orleans Avenue, he delivers an explosive performance blurring the lines between funk, jazz, and R&B. 

Big Boi made history as the preeminent spitter of the Dungeon Family and one half of OutKast. He set the pace for Atlanta hip-hop, and by proxy, the culture at large. Now he comes to the Bowl in style with an energy that only he can bring.

Opener Danielle Ponder’s shiver-inducing mix of pop, R&B, blues, rock, and moody trip-hop is crowned by her celestial voice—an instrument that can plumb melancholy depths with a heartsick murmur and scrape the sky hurricane-force wails.
