"Troy was the big hit this year. People went nuts for him and his band...Troy is an amazing band leader, and the musicianship of his whole band was superb. I swear, Troy is going to be a legend some day - like Dizzy or Duke."
- Marisa Waddell, Live Oak Music Festival

Review of Trombone Shorty at 2009 Tropical Heatwave:
"Expectations were high but Andrews took the crowd even higher with what the 23-year-old trumpeter, trombonist, singer and bandleader calls "super funk rock." From a searing, Crescent City-style rendition of the classic rock staple "American Woman" to the New Orleans anthem "When the Saints Come Marchin' In," Andrews remained awesome. But the biggest thrill came when, with trumpet in hand, he led an impromptu, second line parade through the audience. Andrews remained on key and in cadence the entire time. He returned to the stage to a roar of applause and continued to play. The young man might just be the most electrifying performer on the planet."
