Tuba Skinny - "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (tip the band @Venmo)

[@DeeMoback]

Lord,lord,lord ...... this is how this song is meant to be done

[@mandoman2874]

My new favorite band

[@jimpalmer2981]

They’re astounding. All their albums are great.

[@godfreyberry1599]

Already have a permanent place in my heart from way back.

[@DanielFKoch]

Erika Lewis is the top singer. I love her. The Band is one of the best have ever heard. Toptop

[@AaronHahnStudios]

My life will go by and NEVER get to see Tuba Skinny Live.. it baffles me as to most of these people here do not realise how fortunate they are & admired to what they saw this day.

[@BSimpson19911]

Finally, someone with a authentic voice singing her own way.

[@TheAndrewWray]

the very best of the best - as good as such a voice can be

[@peairs1066]

I recommend Erika doing Peace in the Valley. The album version is great. The real thing.

[@tjwoodlawn9721]

Check out Sierra Ferrel

[@DejaView]

I think I made a similar comment previously on one of their videos. I think if she was any more authentic we'd be listening between the clicks & pops of a 78 RPM record! They don't get anymore real than this gal!

[@Hithere-ek4qt]

Sierra is good, but she’s no Erika

[@jeffreymcneal1507]

I'd stand in hot sun or pouring rain to hear these brilliant performers. Lovely Erika sitting on her huge bass drum in a simple print dress and bangs is a show in and of herself. Shayne is the stealth cornet player, so understated, yet pulls the whole sound into one perfect whole.

[@alistairmacrae4870]

If these guys don't put a smile on your face it's gonna be a long day.

[@BW12149]

That’s the great Erika Lewis singing….fabulous…and she’s still at it

[@boomer_4468]

I love Cab anywhere I can see him. What rhythm!!

[@JamesSterling]

Cab?

[@stephencramer4389]

Erika really does this tune right... She's sooo good.

Simply cannot get enough! Been years I'm an addict!

[@anthonymahoney4329]

Me too

[@algreen1131]

Once again Erika shows her amazing vocal ability . She sings this with perfect country intonation . Now listen to "what's the matter with the mill" and it's a whole different groove . She's a national treasure .And if I wasn't so old ..............

[@kenwitkowski9894]

And C.C. Rider is totally another vibe. This band is soooo good!

[@richardcaird8792]

You`re not alone !!!! Richard Caird.

[@Austin-hw5gf]

If you weren’t so old, what? You’d try one on her? I guess it’s lucky for us that you are so old.

[@algreen1131]

Hey Austin I meant that if I were younger I would ask her out . I find her very attractive and I am also a musician and would love to share musical ideas with her . I am also a gentlemen , which by the tone of your comment you wouldn't understand. Grow up little man

[@Austin-hw5gf]

@@algreen1131 Typical comment from a guy who is trying to downplay the fact that he beats off to someone he sees on You Tube...shift everything to somebody else. I am grown up which is probably something you wouldn't understand.

[@roygregory8334]

All great singers can be identified straight away buy their voice. Erika Lewis is one of them . A star in the making.

[@Vinnie101a]

What a really astute comment - “All great singers can be identified straight away by their voice”. Who would have thunk it? 🤣🤣🤣. Have you had any further enlightenment over the past two years Roy? Hope so.

[@egretsregret]

She is BOSS.

[@ramiro3732]

Ahhhh, pure joy!

[@jaimego]

simply the best music ever - go Erika

[@meredithwilliams4671]

Bluegrass and Trad Jazz. Two uniquely American musical styles and they sound amazing together. This bluegrass fan approves.

[@rogergordon8792]

never heard this tune played as a dixieland piece before. It really works. Great band.

[@JamesSterling]

If you enjoy Tuba Skinny and traditional jazz be sure to subscribe to my channel. I have over 180 videos posted and more on the way.

[@frankcorrenti5941]

This might-could be one of Erika's signature songs. Sure has it to where you wish she wouldn't stop. Love y'all.

[@chipnorthup5354]

You guys make Dixie, Jazz, and Blues proud. Bessy Smith, Lois Armstrong, Fats Waller, Jelly Role Morton, and Billie Holiday are all tapping their feet in their graves. Salute!

[@ianmorton4136]

Glad you mentioned my "Uncle" Jelly Roll Morton ! Morton is a Scottish name and a "jeely roll" is a bread roll with jam on it beloved by all Scots bairns. Wonder if he had a Scots connection ?

[@charleswaynealveyalvey6525]

This is the best there is we really need this in N.O. !!!!!! PLEASE LET THIS HAPPEN!!!!!

[@JelMain]

@@charleswaynealveyalvey6525 They have a permanent street pich there (cops excepted!)

[@laurencetonkin1301]

Just Brilliant Saw Tuba Skinny in New Orleans in 2019 Fantastic tight Band.

[@jimpalmer2981]

This is my all-time favorite version of the song. I bet Bill Monroe would approve.

[@EBrindley77]

It’s so amazing to me that there’s a band in the 2020’s that is capable of producing such a legit 1920’s sound. I’m completely blown away and I can’t get enough of Tuba Skinny!

[@georgeclarke163]

Just perfect music with beautiful Erika and Shayla. To those who gave it a thumbs down - you must leave very sad lives.

[@buffplums]

What a voice Erika has got!

[@johnmarler9294]

I thought good jazz bands were gone, this group is GREAT!!

[@ronknaus3286]

Watched it again; how come it never gets old?

[@jamesanthony8438]

I can honestly say that I was _not_ expecting to hear a Dixieland cover of Bill Monroe when I got up this morning. Absolutely loved this! =)

[@maureensmyth22]

Brilliant band love this band from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪☘️💕✨✨🌟

[@roybodden9243]

Great, great Dixie land band and a Bill Monroe classic! What an incredible combination! WOW! Bill would have loved it (I think?)!Bill was so finicky about how his songs were performed!

[@anonymusum]

They get better and better!

[@slepycitron]

What a lovely job they have: spreading joy. Try not to tap your feet. Impossible.

[@vc20029]

That's right. It's like feet have a mind of their own.

[@spundam]

'The band that won't let your feet behave.' First used 100 years ago about the Original Dixieland Jazz Band, but just as applicable to TS.

[@sirwoofsalot]

How many times can I like this?!?!? This is awesome!

Everytime ya listen Brutha! Sista!

I love Erikas voice. Greetings from Germany

[@user-tb4el1sr1q]

This lovely lady has a parlophone or vaudeville voice if I can say that and mean greatest comments to the greatest ways of love for her and each and every one of you do unique things I’ve noticed and deserve praise for entertaining us with the music we don’t hear too often and seems like we can’t hear enough of it because it’s uplifting and happy and I think my brother knew the singer when he lived in soniat years back now he’s here in spirit quite the musician himself❤❤❤

[@connieclemow4273]

I agree this band is absolutely fantastic. Found them a couple of months ago listening to Loose Marbles. Such a find

[@philipjohnson5366]

Love this. So enjoy Tuba Skinny. On the photography bit, I have to say I love the street environment for their performance. Something about it feels sort of retro and nostalgic, but also natural. The imperfect photography, the people walking in front of the camera, the street noise, all of it, make me feel like I am there. Here is community at some of its best.

[@edsherrod5216]

Another '10' performance by a group that is becoming widely known for dixieland jazz! Great job! Erika killed it!

[@DDD-vh8xk]

And Elvis together this song👍

They've never done a number I haven't liked. All are tremendous instrumentalists, and Ms. Lewis really knows how to belt a song.

Tuba Skinny is the new gold standard. I would love to find some interviews with the band members.

[@johnprovince5304]

@Clark Gable Just enjoy.

[@kenmurray8476]

Search around, there are a few. However, IMHO, they reveal very little about the band members. I think this is an area for development.

Bill Monroe is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, the Bluegrass Hall of Fame, Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (the only person in all four as far as I know). Perhaps he should be in the Jazz Hall of Fame also after this Tuba Skinny performance.

[@joukarfoy]

Bill did it at first in 3/4, then made a change after the first verse and chorus the song to 2/4 after Elvis had the hit with it.

[@fredprintz3330]

James Sterling I love this angle - you can appreciate the interaction.close ups of those girls doesn’t hurt either
