About the event
Charlie Halloran’s Tropicales bring a 1950s Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms, and infectious grooves.
With a nod to New Orleans’ history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, the Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and other destinations along the archipelago.
Their album Shake The Rum was released to vinyl in 2022 on Hi-Tide Recordings to rave reviews, alongside performances at Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, Hi-Tide Summer Holiday in Asbury Park, and a run of shows in New York City.
Halloran also released The Alcoa Sessions in late 2021, imagining the music on board the Alcoa Steamship cruises running from New Orleans through the Caribbean from 1949-1959. Mixing traditional New Orleans jazz, 1950s R&B, and music from Trinidad, Venezuela, and Martinique, The Alcoa Sessions has been nominated for Traditional Jazz Album of the Year by OffBeat Magazine.
The group released a Christmas album in December of 2019 that received a proper release through Virgin Music in 2022, plus an album recorded straight to 78 RPM acetate disc in 2017.
The Tropicales held down Monday nights at Bacchanal Wine for a year or so leading up to the pandemic, and have stayed busy since the spring of 2021 playing regularly at Zony Mash, Broadside Theatre, the Spotted Cat, and DBA.
Grab a daiquiri, turn up your soundsystem, hit the dance floor, and join this subtropical party in sunny New Orleans.
