I try to look at the positives both ways no matter who TS has available to play/sing at any given moment. Whether it is Craig or Ewan or Jon Doyle and with a sax or without, or Charlie or Barnabus on trombone, or Erika sings or Greg or both, Jason and Max and Greg or these two or those two, whatever. I find it absolutely stunning that the group has so much talent and dedication to be able to put on a stellar performance time after time. It is a testament to their skill, talent, and intellect that they never fail to impress. Each of them has their own special set of skills and they blend seamlessly in any combination. I suppose, as the leader Shaye gets the credit, but she is leading a gifted group of very special musicians.
I think Greg Sherman has a great voice,he has introduced new songs into the band and when he and Erika sing their duets it is superb.I think the band benefits from have a male and a female vocalist.
Man, THEY were having fun .. all of them ! And Shaye got a well deserved applause for that fabulous take near the end. PS - does anyone know of videos where Craig Flory is playing that big bass sax ? (saw the Loose Marbles @ Albita Springs)
I wish you all the best for the whole band. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. May this joyful season greet you with health and happiness. Your music is phenomenal. I listen to your music every day. USE MORE PIANO. Your's big fan from Poland. Kazimierz from Gdańsk.
This song REALLY needs Erika cause when she sings "Oh, the Hen has CHICKEN'S, How do they do it thaaaat waaayy" SO ADORABLE! I call this one 'the chicken song'.
I was trying to think who they reminded me of most (not slavishly) - I came to conclusion it was the Johnny Dodds bands of the 1920s - can't be much of a better accolade than that !
Удивительно бережное и профессиональное отношение с стандартам джаза. Они играют современно но так, как играли еще тогда, когда на Бассейновой улице не продавали спиртное из-за сухого закона. Ни одной ритмической ошибки! Shaye Cohn надо вручить "пурпурное сердце", как и всем ее оркестрантам!!!
Erika Lewis, yup. See the comments of almost every other Tuba Skinny video on UA-cam for answers.... Or, from Tuba Skinny's old website: "Where is Erika? We've been getting this question a lot lately, and we figured we owe those inquiring an explanation. Erika has moved out of New Orleans, but she is still in the band. She will still be performing with Tuba Skinny at festivals and on tours, and occasionally in New Orleans too..."
I do like Tuba Skinny however, Erika brought a whole different balance when she sang. Perhaps if Erika is no longer available Shaye could reach out for another female vocalist. The music is great! It can only get better with a great female vocalist! Do you agree?

Tens toda a razão no que escreves. Sou da mesma opnião.
All of them are fantastic musicians.
I was about to say that this may be my favourite Tuba Skinny number - but EVERY Tuba Skinny number is my favourite!
This is really a crowd pleaser and the personnel are adding 100 % to the perforance. Kudos to all y'alls.
Can listen to you all night and day just the best out there long may you REIGN
Jazz as a fine art here .. terrific each .. so finely woven (thanks tpickles)
you're welcome!
Oh my they are so wonderful!!!
Kudos to tpickles for a great recording. Hope TS plays this version for the ny tour this year.
Fantastique. Super son. J’aime énormément Tuba Skinny. Merci.
Wonderful!

Great trombone - sousaphone trade off! Wonderful band!
....and the trumpet?cornet? sublime!
Best Tuba Skinny performance ever!
Shaye is just awesome!!
Man, THEY were having fun .. all of them ! And Shaye got a well deserved applause for that fabulous take near the end. PS - does anyone know of videos where Craig Flory is playing that big bass sax ? (saw the Loose Marbles @ Albita Springs)
superb - and what a great addition to the band is Ewan Bleach! This SWINGS!!
Absolutely fantastic version of,this song. Only ever heard Ericka sing it. Please, please,include it,when you guys tour nyc this year (2018).
Lovely alto saxophone solo!
That's the UK's own Ewan Bleach, he's at least as good on clarinet.
I wish you all the best for the whole band. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. May this joyful season greet you with health and happiness. Your music is phenomenal. I listen to your music every day. USE MORE PIANO. Your's big fan from Poland. Kazimierz from Gdańsk.

Brand new video. Good sound!
Good picture quality also.
Cheers. Just straight off a Sony A6000, no adjustments.
Some interesting 'reverse mute' work from Charlie at about 3 mins. 15 secs. I haven't seen that done before!
Good catch, Pops!

Erica come back.
Thanks for posting! Actually Ewan Bleach from the UK is playing alto here, not Jonathan Doyle.
Ah, thank you! Have corrected that now.
where's the girl that sing? Erika was her name was it?
Erika Lewis, yup. See the comments of almost every other Tuba Skinny video on UA-cam for answers....

Who is the trombonist on this gig? Why don't we hear more of him?
Charlie Halloran.
I do like Tuba Skinny however, Erika brought a whole different balance when she sang. Perhaps if Erika is no longer available Shaye could reach out for another female vocalist. The music is great! It can only get better with a great female vocalist! Do you agree?
I like this version...you get more swept up in the musicality of it, rather than thinking of the lyrics. It's just different---it's ALL GOOD!
Agreed, just not the same without Erika.
Who could take Erika's place tho? I asks you.
Sara Peterson?
Никто не заменит Эрику.
Je vous aime je vous adore mais la voie d'ERIKA me manque
Moi aussi
I meant having a male and a female vocalist.
You visit continental Europe and even Australia. But never Britain. We would welcome you.
Agreed Mike.
Holland is not far away. With the ferry or plane. 8-9-10may 2018 in Breda.
I'll be there!
Hear hear to that Mike. I'd travel the length and breadth of the UK to see and hear them. Can't understand why they haven't been yet.
Nice to hear them play without Erika.
never liked her.
you gotta be kidding
That's a nasty thing to say, Erika is a great vocalist, are you being deliberately nasty or are you just a nasty person?
Philistine!
She is brilliant. So good. Why is she not here?
Not nice at all. Erika is FABULOUS 🎶🎶❤️. You need to get an ear examination ASAP. We love you ERIKA ❤️❤️🎶
