MUSIC News:

New Orleans singer, songwriter, producer, trumpeter and multi-instrumentalist Shamarr Allen is coming to Los Alamos to headline the Los Alamos Summer Concert Series tonight at Ashley Pond Park. This event is produced by Sancre Productions and Los Alamos County.

Shamarr released his new single “Internet Troll Anthem” earlier this week, alongside a hilarious and timely music video. (Click here to watch.) This is his 50+ date summer tour supporting his forthcoming album, True Orleans 2, out this August.

True Orleans 2, a jubilant collection of original songs that melds the diverse styles of the Crescent City, will be released Aug. 18 via Allen’s own imprint POME Music Group. (Click here to preview the full album.)

True Orleans 2 was recorded and produced by Allen at his own studio in New Orleans and features the multi-talent playing trumpet, trombone, drums, keyboards, and bass as well as programming the electronic drums. The album marks Allen’s first collection of new music in four years and follows his previous albums: Box Who In? (2009), 504.799.8147 (2011), and True Orleans (2018), the latter of which featured “Hit the Sean Payton,” a paean to the New Orleans Saints’ Super Bowl-winning coach that became a major local singalong success and viral hit.
