Trombone Shorty & Big Boi at Red Butte Garden
Trombone Shorty brings a distinctive mix of jazz, funk, soul and rock to the stage, drawing on the musical traditions of his hometown, New Orleans. Born Troy Andrews, he began performing at a young age and built an energetic live reputation as a trombonist, trumpeter, singer and bandleader. His releases include Backatown and For True, while songs such as “Hurricane Season” showcase his blend of brass-driven grooves and contemporary sounds. For this concert, he is joined by Big Boi, the acclaimed rapper and one half of OutKast, whose catalog includes “The Way You Move” and “Ms. Jackson.”
The listed performance took place on July 25, 2024, at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City. Event information identifies one date at the venue, so further past appearances there cannot be confirmed. The garden's outdoor setting at the University of Utah, with the Wasatch foothills as a backdrop, offered a distinctly local setting for a pairing that connects New Orleans-inspired brass with Atlanta hip-hop. The event falls under Concerts and Jazz / blues on provotickets.net.
Venue and Seating Information
Red Butte Garden Amphitheatre combines an outdoor concert experience with the surrounding gardens and mountain scenery. Its seating is divided between fixed reserved seats near the stage and a general-admission lawn behind them. The venue information describes reserved center seats as the strongest choice for close views and a direct sightline; designated accessible seating is also available, with advance arrangements recommended.
The sloped lawn suits guests who prefer a more relaxed, picnic-style concert atmosphere. The venue indicates that far sides of the lawn may offer more limited stage views, so arriving early can help guests choose a preferred spot. Low-back chairs and blankets are listed as suitable lawn items; glass containers and outside alcohol are not allowed.
Parking Information
Parking is limited around the amphitheatre, and the adjacent free lot can fill quickly on concert nights. The supplied venue information recommends planning ahead; rideshare is another option when avoiding congestion on the access road is a priority.
