Shamarr Allen Concert History

Shamarr Allen is carrying on a New Orleans musical tradition. Unlike many of the young lions of Crescent City jazz and funk, he didn't have any scholastic-based musical training growing up, opting for an education in science and math over the performing arts. Instead he learned his craft in the lower ninth, passed on to him by those who learned from their forefathers. It is the way it has always been in this musical city. Shamarr studied with New Orleans legends Leroy Jones, Joe Torregano and Clyde Kerr Jr.
