Description
The pride of New Orleans’ vibrant and fertile trad jazz scene, Tuba Skinny returns to Rockport for two shows! The beloved Crescent City collective started out over a decade ago as show-stopping French Quarter street buskers and have since turned into one of New Orleans’ greatest musical ambassadors, touring the world with their delicious, spirited takes on Depression-era blues, spirituals, ragtime and traditional jazz. They’re touring in support of their joyful new release, Hot Town.
Drawing on a wide range of musical influences, 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. They’ve released 12 full-length records, the most recent ones being 2019’s Some Kinda Skake, 2020’s Quarantine Album: Unreleased B-sides, Magnolia Stroll, and the just released Hot Town.
