Doctor Tuba...




Tuba T. J. stays busy these days. As the only guy in Rochester who plays -among other things- orchestral tuba, funk sousaphone, upright and electric bass and contrabass trombone (yes that's right), Tuba T. J. is but a blur on the stage as he runs from one gig to the next. If his onstage antics aren't impressive-enough, T. J. recently graduated from the Eastman School of Music with his DOCTORATE in tuba performance! T. J. is the first guy to to attain the title 'Doctor Tuba' from the highly selective school in over a decade, and he has the funny Galileo-like hat to prove it. In addition to the title El Doctor, T. J. has a group of his own. Dedicated to preserving the legacy of the late Johnny Cash, T. J.'s band, CASH Back, is not your regular cover band. They breathe new life into these tunes and a new generation is falling in love with Cash's music all over again. CASH Back's debut album is now available for purchase. To purchase the album, contact T. J. Click here now.

T. J. is also engaged and soon to be married to our own Po'Girl, Sarah! You can see Sarah at many a Po'Boys show as well as T. J.'s other gigs. Sarah, a musician and Eastman grad herself, is also highly active in the music world around Rochester. Congrats to Sarah and Tuba T. J., our very first Po'Mance!!

We recently shot a YouTube Video about Tuba T. J. Check it out!
