Grounded in the tradition while drawing naturally from blues and other American roots styles\, their music reflects the full spirit of New Orleans jazz. Shaped by years of busking in public squares\, their sound carries a playful\, infectious energy that draws people in. Whether you are a lifelong jazz fan or discovering it for the first time\, their performances feel spontaneous\, welcoming\, and full of life. \nFor 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). \nWhile 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. \nNo matter how well known they’ve become or how high profile their gigs have gotten\, Tuba Skinny has always returned to the streets. “We continue to play in the street because it’s a public space\,” says Shaye. “We get to play for everyone: old\, young\, rich\, poor\, people from all walks of life. It keeps things interesting because it’s organic and unpredictable.” URL:https://www.artswilmington.org/event/tuba-skinny-2/ LOCATION:UNCW Kenan Auditorium\, 515 Wagoner Dr\, Wilmington\, NC 28403\, Wilmington\, NC\, 28036\, United States CATEGORIES:Music ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.artswilmington.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/Tuba-Skinny-copy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260918T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260918T213000 DTSTAMP:20260905T182647Z CREATED:20260905T182647Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260905T182647Z UID:12157-1789759800-1789767000@www.artswilmington.org SUMMARY:Cape Fear Arts in Motion: Winds\, Rhythm\, and Soul DESCRIPTION:Forward Motion Dance Company presents a stunning and innovative dance event with their annual performance\, Cape Fear Arts in Motion: Winds\, Rhythm\, and Soul.
