Where is Erika?
We've been getting this question a lot lately, and we figured we owe those inquiring an explanation. Erika has moved out of New Orleans, but she is still in the band. She will still be performing with Tuba Skinny at festivals and on tours, and occasionally in New Orleans too. She'll be playing with us in New Orleans in April. We miss her when she's not with us, but when we do get to play with her, it's a special treat. Thanks for your concern.
