Soulful vocals backed by an arsenal of immensly talented musicians, Skinny is currently supporting thier new album "grass" on thier latest national tour. 　　 　　 Skinny launched the tour out of their home-town of Cleveland, Ohio with a style of music that truely rips down sterotypes and crosses all the lines of race, gender, or age. 　　 　　Along their travels the Skinny have landed performances with Dave Matthews Band, Blessid Union Of Souls, The Roots, O.A.R, George Clinton and the PFunk Allstars, Ari Hest, Average White Band, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Rusted Root, Robert Randolph, Matt Nathanson, the Spin Doctors, and Galactic. 　　 　　Shortly after forging the band at Kent State University, Skinny was ranked the #1 unsigned band by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Over the seven years the band has been together, one common idea has kept them moving in the same direction, and that is love. The band calls itself the "family", and paints its music with words of brotherhood, and postivity. 　　 　　Skinny is truly music for the mind, body and anyone with a soul.
