Today (Feb 9), Lauren Daigle performed during the pre-game of Super Bowl LIX. Daigle performed “America the Beautiful” alongside Trombone Shorty.
Born Troy Andrews, Trombone Shorty blends funk, soul, R&B and rock in his music. A true New Orleans legend, Shorty performed at Jazz Fest with Bo Diddley at age four and led a brass band by age six. Since then, he’s released five acclaimed albums, toured with major acts like Lenny Kravitz, Red Hot Chili Peppers and the Foo Fighters, headlined festivals worldwide, and performed at the Grammys 4 times and the White House six times. Deeply connected to New Orleans, he closes Jazz Fest’s legendary final set and leads his own Mardi Grasparade atop a float in his likeness.
Accompanying Trombone Shorty, Louisiana native Lauren Daigle is a multiple Grammy, American Music and Billboard Music Award winner known for her powerful voice and chart-topping hits. Her 2018 album Look Up Child debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Top 200, making her the first female artist to reach the Top 10 on both the Pop and Christian Album charts simultaneously. The album’s lead single “You Say” has been certified six-times Platinum. Daigle’s recently released self-titled album spawned her 6th chart-topping song, “Thank God I Do,” and boosted her worldwide streaming numbers past 1 billion.
