Event Details

Formed in in 2009, Tuba Skinny has steadily evolved from a loose collection of street musicians into a solid ensemble dedicated to bringing the traditional New Orleans sound to audiences around the world.

Direct from the streets of New Orleans...

Tuba Skinny's blend of old timey jazz & swing music was a huge hit at the Sydney Festival, Woodford Folk Festival, Darling Harbour Jazz Festival & venues across the country, selling out all shows and packing out the dancefloors nation wide.

Drawing on a wide range of musical influences-from spirituals to Depression-era blues, from ragtime to traditional jazz-their sound evokes the rich musical heritage of their New Orleans home. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances.
