Shaye is the heart of this band, and yet she tends to stay out of the spotlight, sharing it equally with the whole band. And then there's Erica. Oh my, what music.
They all play a part yes as an observer I can see she like the boss after watching their clips over the years but I really do like the ones where there is singing
Dear God, I love Erika!! That voice and that careless sexiness. Unforgettable. The greatest of NO style bands ever. Satch would have dashed home to practice.
Ich liebe diesen alten Mississippi- Sound. Das ist die Sprache Gottes. Tuba Skinny ist der Blues in meinem Herz. Die Band auf der Straße zu sehen, ist sicherlich ein Seelenheil. Ich bin ein alter Ostdeutscher aus Germany. Die Auftritte aller Bandmitglieder sind Kultur einer leider vergangenen Musikepoche, die wie zu sehen, niemals die Welt verlassen wird. Danke Euch in New Orleans!
Lawdy yall soo good I'm hurtin'!! Tears rollin down my cheeks. Erika you done made me melt in my chair. That's the blues like no one else can play and sing.
It's a long way to Tipperary ☘️🇮🇪 but we can't get enough of Tuba Skinny here I had the pleasure of listening to them in New Orleans class group of entertainers☘️🇮🇪☮️
It’s nice what a title of a video is so far from 'clickbait''. Simply stating what many of us know, Erika is indeed a great blues singer who also happens to be surrounded by fantastic musicians. A touch of colour on a grey landscape, stay safe everyone.
Skinny gets better with every song. For several years I was a jazz dummer and I loved ro play tradional jazz. This band re-creates the old days...keep up the great work.
Garry Kizer They’re lucky to have a venue to play at! Where I live, Montreal, deader than a door nail for jazz bands. Our so-called jazz fest is a joke. Hardly any jazz! Lots of everything else.
I really love Tuba Skinny music! Everything they do on stage is a masterpiece! I wish them success and prosperity! With love from the village of Murmashi, Russia
This is a great band and the singer is just mesmerizing this woman oozes sensuality and the music just flows right through her body and she beats on that drum and sings her songs
Listen to Tuba Skinny all the time. . .Fellow says he's 84 and loving the band. I do to and I'm 83. . .hope most folks don't have to wait until they're our age to appreciate the good stuff. But everything improves with age. . .Scotch, women, even us. . .keep on keepin'. . .
Tuba Skinny's music is in the same time old and new fresh and shining with their sound that lead dreams in a fantastic different world. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Bob John Stika, I am a huge fan of her ❤️and the whole band. I am so glad they are, as of that date, still performing together. I hope they survive the crisis we are presently experiencing. My best to them and for all the happiness they have given to me even if it has just been via you tube. I send the same sentiments to all.
Am not American ,and it is way far our community’s test,but one can learn great things from this band ,I do respect them ,Erica seems so strong deep-inside.
First came the quarantine. Then riding out my own case of Covid-19. Thank you, Tuba Skinny, for helping me through the roughest patch (physically) that I have ever endured...and that's counting two surgeries in my life.
Not only is Erika an amazing singer, VERY easy on the eyes as well ;-) Shaye is simply amazing. ALWAYS in control, and always making the right calls, but so subtle! The character of every member of this band just fits perfect with the vibe they are sending out. I am OFFICIALLY addicted to TS
Kenny B Absolutelly YES! I love to see and hear videos of TS again and again, and study every member of this amazing band separatelly :) when I was younger, I used to do it like this with Deep Purple :))) But I´m on the tune of TS now :) (I´m from Slovakia)
@@lewandula2802 You are traveling down an exceptional path my Slovakian friend. From Richie Blackmore, Ian Gillan and the boys to Shaye Cohn, Erika Lewis and the boys. Very diverse music, but both an amazing experience ;-)
Kenny B Very important bridge between rock and blues (and other music genres afterwards) - when I started my music expedition after my narrow-minded rock period :) - was Jimi Hendrix actually, and his compilation album Blues. Than I´ve discovered Johnny Winter, Allman Brothers, Canned Heat (I love that wonderful diversity inside this band, too), Rory Gallagher and his live-performances :D...back to Cream, E.C. and with him R.L.Johnson of course, than back again to Stones :))) and so on... I thank them all for knowledge, that it doesn´t matter the genre of music in fact, but the quality of it and the fervour of musicians. I really-really thank them all, TS including, for widening my passion and pleasure of good music :)
I have yet to see and listen to a TH-cam video of Tuba Skinny that I didn’t like. This is a great band, and I must say they have gotten better over the years. I have compared the early videos to the current ones, and can tell a difference. However, the early ones are still great. Maybe one day I’ll get to see them live, but I must hurry because I am in my 8th decade.
TUBA SKINNY höre ich zu gerne.Gesang und Tuba und immer mal wechselnde Besetzung erinnern mich an meine Zeit mit riverboatshuffles,Bunkern mit Jazzclubs.Auf Straße und Bahnhöfen waren wir vor gut 60 Jahren nicht soe gerne gesehen aber auf Festen....
So happy to see that they will be performing in the NY City area in August / September. Come on all Tuba Skinny fans, lets come out and support this fabulous band!
greetings 😆2020😉I really do agree100% Erika is given the gift of vocal, also all of them given to make people happy memorable ,they do exist 😆thanks camera person too😆keep smiling with lol politely
Perfect sunday evening chill sounds, bottle of red, spread out on the sofa, could and probably will doze off to this sound - wafts you away to another far gone era........... Brilliant, Just love these
I stumbled across this band a couple of days ago and I'm a super fan. Phenomenal musicians and Erika's bluesy voice is delicious. Seeing TS is definitely on my bucket list!
love you guys, your music is super, love erica's singing voice as well her personality, and the band is very professional!!! from puerto rico, with love🎶🎵🎼🎹🇵🇷🏝🏖...
I'm 72. This music filled my childhood and gave me rhythm and love.
Erika lewis is pure class
Shaye is the heart of this band, and yet she tends to stay out of the spotlight, sharing it equally with the whole band. And then there's Erica. Oh my, what music.
The foot stomp at the beginning of each piece, That’s Shay’s, the boss
Love Erika's vocals, but as you say, Shaye is the heart
@@williesayulita Would that make Erika the soul?
@@davet766 I can agree to that, really easily. I notice that when Erika doesn't sing lead, I have much less interest in the song.
They all play a part yes as an observer I can see she like the boss after watching their clips over the years but I really do like the ones where there is singing
These are special people with special talents! Your talents are amazing and greatly appreciated!
Mich wundert bloß, dass kaum deutschsprachige Kommentare auftauchen. Ich finde jedenfalls die Band samt Erika einfach großartig.
I'm glad the Jug Band is still popular. Tuba Skinny is one of the best, this side of Heaven or New Orleans.
Dear God, I love Erika!! That voice and that careless sexiness. Unforgettable. The greatest of NO style bands ever. Satch would have dashed home to practice.
Tuba Skinny. Automatic "like."

Up the Irish. O'Brien here. Listening to Tuba.👌🤙👍
EVERYONE WHO EVEN COMES INTO CONTACT WITH HER HAD BETTER BE KIND TO QUEEN ERIKA;;;;;;OR ELSE!!!!!
Amen sister
Erika Lewis is unbelievable. Love Tuba Skinny.

Any Time, Erika, but I am too far away (Denmark)
Skinny gets better with every song. For several years I was a jazz dummer and I loved ro play tradional jazz. This band re-creates the old days...keep up the great work.
Love when i scroll on my phone and this band comes up. So good to hear their music again.
This is something special. Erika is even more, every inch...Greetings from Finland!
Being home during the stay home quarantine orders. Surfing TH-cam and this band has been my greatest discovery. Amazing and talented.
IS THIS GIRL REALLY THIS STUNNING LOOKING OMG SHE IS SO LOVELY
loved them for a few years, Erica a great singer and a fascinating person, Keep going Tuba Skinny ! Rod in London
Just can’t get enough of this music, go tuba skinny❤️❤️
Really like these people. Love that they play on the street 3 days a week, too. They are keeping the old, old jazz alive. Keep on!
Garry Kizer They’re lucky to have a venue to play at! Where I live, Montreal, deader than a door nail for jazz bands. Our so-called jazz fest is a joke. Hardly any jazz! Lots of everything else.
What’s so amazing is that their performances in royale st sound great too, I can attest. Must be the buildings close together.
Erica, we promise to be kind and listen to you!
Absolutely love this band. All acoustic no loud drum kit just the old washboard for percussion and tuba for the bass line
I really love Tuba Skinny music! Everything they do on stage is a masterpiece! I wish them success and prosperity! With love from the village of Murmashi, Russia
"wont you be kind to me?'
""only for one day then I am down the road!
A summary of your true character.
@@BrianCarnevaleB26 What a nasty reply.

Oh ja.
This is a great band and the singer is just mesmerizing this woman oozes sensuality and the music just flows right through her body and she beats on that drum and sings her songs

These guys get the best tone from their instruments/voice I've heard in a long, long time. And the coolest sunnies ever.
Tuba skinny greatest street band in Nol. Ever! When I get the covid 19 blues, I tune into their station and they play the fog away.
Am not American ,and it is way far our community’s test,but one can learn great things from this band ,I do respect them ,Erica seems so strong deep-inside.

Can't stop listening to these GREAT musicians
And Erika is sensational
What a great band.!!! The wash board player makes a big difference I heard them with out him...Erika is killing it ...all together fantastic
Yeah just heard a set without Barnabus . Was a great set but Tuba need his trombone.
Damn! What a band! What a sound! And a voice somewhere north of heaven.
Not only is Erika an amazing singer, VERY easy on the eyes as well ;-)
Shaye is simply amazing.
ALWAYS in control, and always making the right calls, but so subtle!

Sets the spirit free. One burnt nurse saved , thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely superb, great combo of sound and relaxed street. Erika just nails it. Going back home my favourite. Keep it going on.
