The 27th annual TD Vancouver International Jazz Fest (June 22-July 1) just got a whole lot hotter.

Young trumpet virtuoso Troy "Trombone Shorty" Andrews (and occasional actor on HBO's Treme) returns, kicking off opening night with fellow New Orleans, the lengendary Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

Among the many names added to the lineup are a host of familiar faces from Vancouver: Geoff Berner, Jill Barber, rapper Kyprios, and the SSRIs.

Want to see it all? The fest's popular Hopper Pass is back. Early bird tickets go on sale Saturday, Mar. 10 at 10am for $150 from NortherTickets.com. Limited quantities available.
