Tuba Skinny

 

 For over a decade Tuba Skinny has grown steadily in popularity, releasing twelve albums and touring all over the world. They’ve attracted a wide variety of fans, young and old, neophytes and niche-enthusiasts, with the strength of their musicianship and the scope of their jazz and American roots music catalog. The band is composed of Shaye Cohn (cornet), Barnabus Jones (trombone), Todd Burdick (tuba), Craig Flory (clarinet), Gregory Sherman (guitar and vocals), Max Bien-Kahn (banjo), Robin Rapuzzi (washboard), and Erika Lewis (vocals and bass drum).
 
While they’ve become known as world-class interpreters of traditional jazz, over the years they’ve branched out into jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime, and New Orleans R&B. Their approach is a true reflection of Americana, encompassing the full genealogy of popular American music from an early 20th century perspective.

Michelle Willson: Barside

A writer in the respected Allmusic.com once put it this way: "Her singing is like a strong cup of Joe -- it beelines to the gut and jolts the system."

And that's putting it mildly.

Michelle’s music is regularly played on blues radio and internet programs all around the globe and her original music was featured in the HBO series “Mind of the Married Man”, as well as on the House of Blues compilation album Essential Women in the Blues.

 Whether moaning a blues or joyously shouting a jump tune, Michelle and her band have the rare ability to make this music sound fresh and exciting, as well as timeless and classic.
