Trombone Shorty, July 17
Bringing his diversity of styles to the Fillmore next month, Troy Andrews, aka Trombone Shorty, will take Philly’s stage with Larkin Poe on Friday, July 17.
Andrews, now 40, comes from New Orleans and performed with Bo Diddley at age 4. Shorty’s “Let’s Go Get ‘Em” tour comes to the City of Brotherly Love with his band Orleans Avenue. Tickets are available now.
Last year, they performed “Here Come the Girls” on “The View.”
Shinedown, July 23
Singer Brent Smith, guitarist Zach Myers and crew will bring their own brand of hard rock and the latest Shinedown tour to the Xfinity Mobile Arena on July 23.
Expect pyrotechnics, a handful of songs from the band’s latest album, “EI8HT,” and at least one Lynyrd Skynyrd cover. Coheed and Cambria and From Ashes to New are also on the bill.
Smith & Myers performed at the “Pierre Robert: A Show of Life” in Philadelphia at the end of last year.
“If there is one person, and one spirit, and one embodiment of authenticity and love, it is the spirit of Pierre Robert,” Smith said at the December tribute. “Pierre isn’t gone because he’s everywhere.”
Tickets for Shinedown are available now. Check out “Second Chance” and “Sound of Madness.”
Muse, July 29
One of the most powerful active trios in rock music rolls into Camden before July is over. The English band is led by singer/guitarist Matt Bellamy, whose searing guitar solos and operatic vocals shape the theatrical sound of Muse.
The band is supporting its new album, “The Wow! Signal,” on a tour of the same name.
Tickets are available now for the show at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. Opening acts include Bloc Party and The Temper Trap.
Check out Muse hits “Hysteria” and “Madness.”
