Woonsocket 2024: Shamarr Allen (New Orleans Fusion)

June 21

Shamarr Allen (New Orleans Fusion)

Let the good times roll with Shamarr Allen, the embodiment of the vibrant spirit of New Orleans! From the soulful streets of the Lower 9th Ward, Shamarr brings an explosive fusion of jazz, hip-hop, rock, funk, blues, and country straight to your ears. Leading the charge with his trumpet and vocals in “Shamarr Allen & The Underdawgs,” he’s not just a performer; he’s a collaborator extraordinaire, having shared the stage with legends like Willie Nelson, Patti LaBelle, and Lenny Kravitz. Whether he’s rocking out at festivals worldwide or crafting musical magic behind the scenes, Grammy-nominated Shamarr Allen is the ultimate embodiment of the True Orleans experience!

Since 2018, the free, family-friendly, 10-week music series has transformed River Island Art Park into a cultural hub of entertainment on Friday evenings. With goals of amplifying community pride, enriching lives through the power of free, live music, and creating vibrant public places, the work we do fosters tourism, enhances the resident experience, and is a point of pride for the City.

Over the last few years, the Levitt AMP Woonsocket Music Series has become the place to be on Friday nights. Residents have personally told me that they consider it to be the best arts event they attend all summer!”
