Welcome to Episode 2 of the Ultrawizard Ramble Podcast!

Robin Rapuzzi is the Washboard Player and Percussionist in Tuba Skinny, plays mandolin in Rapuzzi's Glo Worms, and has recorded/played with countless other New Orleans Bands.  If you're in New Orleans, you can see Tuba Skinny regularly at DBA on Frenchman St. most Saturdays from 6-9pm.

In addition to his music, Robin is a blacksmith who forges tons of wonderful objects.  You can follow his work on Instagram at the link below.

Robin is a pillar of the New Orleans Community and an all-around great guy.  I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did.
