Tuba Skinny is a traditional jazz street band that has captured the essence of the vintage New Orleans sound with remarkable authenticity and flair. Emerging from the rich cultural milieu of the Crescent City, where music is an intrinsic part of the historical tapestry, the group began to coalesce in 2009. Since then, they have developed a loyal global following, enchanted by their ability to channel the spirit of the 1920s and 30s through their performances and recordings.

Their extensive discography showcases a profound respect for the jazz and blues roots, with albums like "Magnolia Stroll," "Nigel's Dream," "Owl Call Blues," "Some Kind-A-Shake," and the live energy of "Tuba Skinny - Jam in the Van (Live Session, New Orleans, LA 2022)." The band's skilled musicianship is evident in their intricate arrangements and improvisations, while numbers such as "Blue Chime Stomp" demonstrate their dedication to reviving the sounds once heard in the dance halls and corner bars of old New Orleans. Tuba Skinny's magic lies not just in the music they make, but in the timeless atmosphere they evoke, inviting listeners to step back to an age where jazz was king.
