Cornell Concert Series: Tuba Skinny

For over a decade, Tuba Skinny has grown steadily in popularity, releasing twelve albums and touring all over the world. They’ve attracted a wide variety of fans, young and old, neophytes and niche-enthusiasts, with the strength of their musicianship and the scope of their jazz and American roots music catalog. While Tuba Skinny has become known as world-class interpreters of traditional jazz, over the years, the band has branched out into jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime, and New Orleans R&B. Tuba Skinny’s approach is a true reflection of Americana, encompassing the full genealogy of popular American music from an early 20th century perspective.

“While it’s evident the band treasures the sense of history evoked by these vintage tunes, the players’ natural exuberance makes the music feel irresistibly alive.” – Melbourne Music Festival
