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

@ French Quarter Festival 2016. Erika Lewis sings a Bill Monroe bluegrass classic. If Elvis can do it then so can Tuba Skinny! Shaye Cohn, cornet; Charlie Halloran, trombone; Craig Flory, clarinet; Jason Lawrence, banjo; Max Bien-Kahn, guitar; Robin Rapuzzi, washboard; and Todd Burdick, tuba.

This woman can really wail on 'blues and dixie. give her a 10. She has style!

[@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!

[@stephencramer4389]

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

[@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.

[@michaelbodnar1424]

May I add that the musicians are tremendous.

[@buffplums]

What a voice Erika has got!

[@DanielFKoch]

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

[@rogergordon8792]

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

[@anonymusum]

They get better and better!

[@hank1519]

Erika really nails the vocal!

[@JimSulliv3]

The song fits Erika's voice to a tee.

[@johnonorgan]

definitely Erika found her true place in music

[@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.

[@ronknaus3286]

Watched it again; how come it never gets old?

[@meredithwilliams4671]

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

[@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.

[@ThePaohc]

nature and real, 5 stars!!

[@Classof1970]

God, I love this band!

[@analiataramasco4355]

Me too!!

[@Sebb88888]

es verdad ,es capaz con esta musica revivir a un fallecido saludos..

[@miasnel7105]

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

[@anthonymahoney4329]

Me too

[@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.

[@johnk8174]

That high lonesome sound :-)

[@alistairmacrae4870]

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

[@swampy6194]

That was BRILLIANT!

[@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.

[@romanworoch3902]

They get TIGHTER every time ... FANTASTIC! Wish I had my own TV show. Tuba Skinny would be offered the music contract!

[@robertsuhrer5604]

The band always puts me in a good mood!

[@johnmarler9294]

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

[@ericcaravag4614]

ERIKA LEWIS OH YEA LOVE THAT GAL

[@barcrrt850]

This is what happy looks like!

[@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.

[@steveellis9288]

I’m in melt down can’t take anymore of this coolness save me Lord it’s unnatural people have been gifted with so much talent. Wow get me there....

[@richardallan455]

Wow Erika Lewis she has an amazing voice,just hits you from another time.

[@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!

[@harrydietrich3854]

Great 👍

[@franklincordeiro]

What a wonderful voice! In fact the harmony of the group is sensational! Thanks for posting.

[@allenfriedman2441]

ERIKA'S VOICE LIKE A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT. THIS GROUP IS SOOOO IN SYNC.

[@valerieleon14]

Hello America I just love this band the music is awesome GOD Bless America.

[@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.

[@posthanssnoek]

I love Erika and here voice.

[@DeeMoback]

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

[@hegerdietmar8101]

I love Erikas voice. Greetings from Germany

[@Ronin4614]

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.

[@dwaynebrue7651]

My Hometown New Orleans!! I see Tuba Skinny as much as possible on Frenchman Street!!!!

[@whitbarrow1]

You lucky git

[@johnasumaa9662]

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

[@davidtolley9757]

Just don't get any better than this Fantastic instrumentalists and a great singer Now that's what iam talkin bout Magic ain't it just?

[@rahul91090]

Their music has a happy and at the same time somewhat antique vibe going. Amazing to listen to this swing. And Erika 💙

[@jayeyetube]

Practically perfect in every way! Great vocals, great clarinet, great band 👏👏👏

I'm sitting in Kentucky wishing I was in New Orleans again (former Kenner Res).

Good job you all stopped when you did, otherwise I would have reached terminal delight darlings. I would have turned up me tootsies and fell off me perch, to be found next day with a smile on my wee face. Thanks for brightening up a solo Christmas Day here in Belfast. I wish you rainbows as ever. Happy Christmas to you all.

Everything about this video is EXCELLENT. The music of course with Tuba Skinny, Erika on vocals and the quailty of the film, the colour is amazing.

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.
