Tubaluba captures the spirit of New Orleans, and conveys it through their brass
street band rhythm and style they call, Jambalaya Brass Rock.
Like the New Orleans dish that lent its name to their style, Tubaluba combines
the staple musical provisions of jazz and soul with the trinity of funk, R&B & rock
‘n’ roll into a unique concoction designed to make you feel like you’ve been
transported into the middle of a raucous 2
nd
line parade surrounded by vocals,
piano, drums and a mess of horns.
Formed in 2009, Tubaluba initially drew its musical inspirations from of the Dirty
Dozen Brass Band, Rebirth Brass Band, Dr. John, the Cosimo Matassa influence
of early New Orleans R&B and rock ‘n’ roll artists like Irma Thomas and Lee
Dorsey. Over the past 5 years, their sound has expanded to encompass the rock
‘n’ roll past and funky present of their hometown of Seattle, WA. The band’s
songwriting continues to evolve, blending fresh horn hooks with powerful vocal
melodies.
The live Tubaluba experience is a high­energy combination of a stage show and
street parade. The stage show has the feeling of a rock ‘n’ roll tent revival with
fans chanting vocal hooks and trying out dance moves alongside the band’s
soundtrack. The band has also been known to become “Tubalubradours” and
head out into the crowd to, sometimes quite literally, take the party to the street.
Their new album, Champagne Sunday, is an extension of their live show. Big
vocal hooks, crackin’ horn lines, and those New Orleans grooves filtered through
the rock n roll, funk machine that is present day Seattle. This album finds ways
to move you and groove you. This is not trad jazz. This is not old school. This is
something new. This is Jambalaya Brass Rock.
Tubaluba has shared the stage with many of New Orleans finest, including Big
Sam, Preservation Hall, and Rebirth Brass Band. Several members of the group
have played with national powerhouses such as Macklemore and Ryan Lewis,
Sophistaphunk, the Polyrhythmics, and Odesza. They are becoming a national
powerhouse in their own right. Come on and join the parade!
