Top Deck this wonderful warm and sunny afternoon onboard Paddle Steamer The Natchez, before cruising down and up the mighty Mississippi, Tuba Skinny made their first appearance on the River. Quoting from Steamboat Stomp's presentation: "Tuba Skinny came together in New Orleans in 2009 as a loose collection of street musicians and has since evolved to a fully formed professional band. Their unique sound evokes the rich musical heritage of New Orleans from the early jazz and blues and the twenties and thirties, ragtime, and traditional jazz. The band consists of tuba, trombone, cornet, tenor banjo/guitar,
vocals, washboard, and occasionally clarinet. The band has gained a loyal following through their distinctive sound, their commitment to reviving long-lost songs, and their barnstorming live performances."
Erika Lewis (v&drum), Todd Burdick (tuba), Jason Lawrence (bnj), Max Bien-Kahn (g), Shaye Cohn (cornet), Barnabus Jones (tb), Robin Rapuzzi (washboard), Tomas Majcherski (sax) and Craig Flory (cl).
For you to enjoy this footage from their full one hour performance on Friday, September 23rd, 2016 on the Natchez, New Orleans.

I said this about Tuba Skinny before. I will say it again. There is a lack of superlatives in the English language to give proper homage to these guys. X-)

One of the many things I like about this band is that they do not blare. They play in a controlled disciplined way that is very effective. No one is trying to be heard above the others. Each player seems to be listening for the overall effect. Great ensemble playing and unique.

Erica Lewis has the most amazing voice, so unique, so her own. Not unlike a comparison to Bob Dylan, she creates her own genre. Watching her thump that bass, like an afterthought, just blows us away. Sorry I cannot name all the band members, but the brass and clarinet just smoke red hot. The fine looking man on the banjo, he too has this reedy tenor that just takes flight. Well, ran out of superlatives, Mr. Rathbun, too.
