Charlie Halloran

**Charlie Halloran** lights up stages with his soulful trombone chops and a passion for the rich sounds of New Orleans jazz and Caribbean rhythms. Rooted in the vibrant music scene of the Big Easy, Halloran blends traditional jazz with tropical flavors, drawing inspiration from calypso, mambo, and classic New Orleans brass traditions. His releases—like the lively *Jump Up*, breezy *Sol Tropical*, and cheekily titled *Shake the Rum*—showcase his knack for crafting festive, foot-tapping grooves that feel like a sun-soaked parade.

When he’s not leading his own ensembles, Charlie collaborates with fellow New Orleans artists to keep the city’s jazz legacy fresh and forward-moving. Tracks like *Ocaso Marino* and *Ce Biguine* highlight his love for cross-cultural grooves, while playful covers (see: *Funny How Time Slips Away*) prove he’s as versatile as he is fun. Whether swinging through a second-line rhythm or channeling a Havana nightclub, Halloran’s music is all about spreading joy—no passport required.
