The New Orleans band Tuba Skinny will play the JPT Film & Event Center on Saturday, May 8, 2027, with tickets going on sale this Friday.
Tickets open at 10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 13, at janepickens.com or by phone at 1-800-657-8774. The show starts at 8 p.m.
Tuba Skinny has released 13 albums over more than a decade and tours internationally, playing traditional jazz alongside jug band music, spirituals, country blues, string band music, ragtime and New Orleans R&B.
The band still busks in New Orleans.
“We continue to play in the street because it’s a public space,” said Shaye Cohn, the band’s cornetist. “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.”
The show is presented by Spectacle Live, a Massachusetts company that books and manages performing arts venues across New England.
