ALL3N Generation makes its highly anticipated debut with a powerful celebration of New Orleans jazz—past, present, and future—united on one stage. This special family ensemble brings together three generations of Allen musicians, led by renowned New Orleans trumpeter Shamarr Allen.

Shamarr Allen is a New Orleans-born trumpeter, vocalist, composer, producer, and bandleader known for blending jazz, funk, hip-hop, rock, blues, and country into a vibrant sound that reflects his hometown’s musical diversity. He leads his own band, Shamarr Allen & The Underdawgs, and has performed and toured with artists such as Willie Nelson, Patti LaBelle, Galactic, Harry Connick Jr., and Lenny Kravitz, among others, while also playing with local brass traditions like the Rebirth Brass Band early in his career. Allen has released several albums, including True Orleans 2, and his work spans performing, composing, recording, and music education in the New Orleans community.

Joining him are his two sons: Jarrel Allen, a recent Loyola University graduate and current drummer for Delfeayo Marsalis, Donte Allen, a rising young trumpet voice and student at New Orleans Center for Creative Arts (NOCCA), Cam Watson on Piano, and Javier MeToyer on Bass.

ALL3N Generation delivers a fresh, high-energy sound rooted in deep New Orleans tradition, blending seasoned mastery with fearless youthful creativity. This debut performance is a rare chance to witness a new chapter in a legendary musical lineage—live as it begins.
