For more than fifteen years, Tuba Skinny has captivated audiences around the world with its joyful, authentic approach to early jazz. Formed on the streets of New Orleans in 2009, the ensemble has grown from an informal busking band into one of the most beloved traditional jazz groups of the modern era, earning an international following through relentless touring, acclaimed recordings, and millions of online viewers. Rather than recreating early jazz as a museum piece, Tuba Skinny breathes new life into the music with performances that are deeply rooted in the traditions of New Orleans. Drawing inspiration from the city's rich musical heritage, the band performs classic jazz, blues, ragtime, jug band music, spirituals, and country blues from the early twentieth century. Their repertoire highlights the artistry of legendary musicians such as King Oliver, Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Bessie Smith, and the countless unsung performers whose music shaped America's original art form. Despite their worldwide reputation, Tuba Skinny has remained committed to the streets and neighborhoods where the band was born, continuing to perform regularly in New Orleans while touring extensively throughout North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia. Their recordings and live performances have introduced a new generation of listeners to traditional jazz, proving that music created more than a century ago remains as vibrant and relevant as ever. Whether encountered on a street corner in the French Quarter or on the concert stage, Tuba Skinny offers an unforgettable musical experience—one that celebrates the enduring power of melody, rhythm, improvisation, and the joyful spirit at the heart of New Orleans jazz.
