Assembled from the premiere cultural institutions of the East Coast, Tubular is a tuba rock band bent on blurring the lines between chamber music, rock music, and performance art. Tubular has thrilled audiences playing dazzling arrangements from Lady Gaga to Queen, on stages from Philadelphia to Ann Arbor. They continue to push the boundaries of traditional performance and musical entrepreneurship by exploring new spaces, experimental sounds, and performance practices. This quintet of highly trained and highly sarcastic musicians is committed to bringing vigorously entertaining live shows and tight leather pants wherever they go. Audience members are encouraged to bring their singing voices, dancing shoes, and business socks.
