Biography

Tuba Skinny is a jazz group, formed in 2009 in New Orleans. Members include Shaye Cohn. The discography here lists 14 albums, from “Tubaskinny” (2009) to “Hot Town” (2023).

Tuba Skinny is an American street band based in New Orleans, Louisiana, known for their performances of early jazz, ragtime, and blues music of the 1920s and 1930s. In contrast to many pre-revival and revival traditional bands, the ensemble seeks to emulate the sound of jazz in the days before phonographs became widely available. The band's instrumentation includes cornet, clarinet, trombone, tuba, tenor banjo, guitar, frottoir, and vocals. As a busking band, the group has performed on city streets and at music festivals around the world, including Mexico, Sweden, Australia, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Spain. Formed in 2009 after many years of its members playing in different New Orleans street bands, Tuba Skinny quickly gained a strong following on YouTube, where hundreds of fan-recorded videos attracted a substantial international viewership.
