Monday Lowdown: Tonight’s Best Tuba-fied Option
The beginning of the year is generally a low-key time for going out and about in HumCo. Nevertheless, your Lowdown has returned from a sabbatical away perfecting socialism in Cuba to help ensure the first Monday of your 2015 does not suck butt.
How are we gonna do it? With tuba.
Thus, tonight at Jambalaya, ambitious beginning-of-the-week-revelers can get an earful of second liners Tubaluba, Seattle’s bearers of the New Orleans sound. Hear how Tubaluba blow their horns in the YouTube clip below.

“Tubaluba combines the staple musical provisions of jazz and soul with the trinity of funk, R&B and rock ‘n’ roll into a unique concoction designed to make you feel like you’ve been transported into the middle of a raucous 2nd line parade surrounded by vocals, piano, drums and a mess of horns.”
