Tuba Skinny is scheduled to perform at the Newberry Opera House on September 13, 2026. The band is a New Orleans-based dixieland jazz ensemble known for its energetic and improvisational performances. Their style draws heavily from early 20th-century New Orleans jazz traditions, featuring instrumentation typically including tuba, trombone, banjo, clarinet, trumpet, and vocals. They often perform without setlists, embracing a spontaneous approach rooted in the spirit of street performance.

The Newberry Opera House, located in Newberry County, South Carolina, has a rich history dating back to its original construction in 1881. It served as a vital community hub for entertainment and civic engagement throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries, hosting traveling shows, political rallies and local events. Facing decline in the mid-20th century due to changing entertainment preferences and deferred maintenance, the Opera House underwent a comprehensive restoration completed in 1998. This restoration returned the building to its former grandeur and allowed it to resume its role as a performing arts venue.
