      Erika is a great singer, but she's just one part of Tuba Skinny. Every member of the band is very talented. It's hardly a "backing band."

    This young lady sings and proclaims to the world in a very honest and unassuming way how the blues should be sung.No showbiz posing,no excessive facial expressions,no moving around the place for effect not overdressed (a compliment) She just stands there and sings as if she were at home and singing for her family and friends. She entertains,along with the band a 78year old Englishman immensely. keepit going Erica,and don`t change your style

    Thank you Tuba Skinny Band Members for playing " Back to Basic" Music. No fancy stuff. Just instrumental and a beautiful voice. I try to play along with my Soprano Recorder . Especially on "Going Back Home". I have an Alto Sax, but you've inspired me to take up the Clarinet . I'm in my third week of self taught mode. I'm in the process of cleaning up my Chromatic Scale. It will take time to work out the squeaks, honks and silent puff sounds. But I have the time. I'm still breaking in my Embrocher. I Thank You for your music. God Bless You All. ❤😋
