Hardwick Shindig with Tuba Skinny

Join us for our third Hardwick Shindig. This free concert features Tuba Skinny, one of the hottest touring acts out there today. Show at 7, dinner at 6. Get ready to dance, listen and party with your neighbors! This free show is made possible by the Better Places Program and YOUR donations. For dinner, Phil will be serving up steamed mussels and corn on the cob, and the Caja Madera taco truck will be craking out, well, tacos, of course.

For over a decade Tuba Skinny has grown steadily in popularity, releasing 15 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). While 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.
