Tuba Skinny

THIS EVENT IS AT THE ROSE AND ALFRED MINIACI PERFORMING ARTS CENTER, AN AFFILIATED VENUE OF BROWARD CENTER FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS ON THE NOVA SOUTHEASTERN UNIVERSITY CAMPUS.

“If jazz is the bread, then the blues is the butter for Tuba Skinny.” - Ofbeat Magazine

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 they’ve become known as world-class interpreters of traditional jazz, over the years they’ve branched out into jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime, and New Orleans R&B. Their approach is a true refection of Americana, encompassing the full genealogy of popular American music from an early 20th century perspective.

The band is composed by Shaye Cohn (Cornet), Barnabus Jones (Trombone), Todd Burdick (Tuba), Craig Flory (Clarinet), Gregory Sherman (Guitar and Vocals), Max Bien-Kahn (Banjo), Robin Rapuzzi (Washboard), and Erika Lewis (Vocals and Bass Drum).

“Musically, Tuba Skinny mines a rich seam of traditional jazz and blues from the ‘20s and ‘30s. And, 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
