"A true authentic New Orleans dance-hall style band."
– New Orleans Traditional Jazz Quarterly

Southside Aces perform traditional New Orleans jazz. The band first began as the brainchild of clarinetist Tony Balluff and sousaphone player Erik Jacobson. Their whispers and rumors materialized in Tony’s foyer near Pillsbury and 27th in South Minneapolis, late August 2003. Since their first gig on a flatbed truck in Apple Valley, they’ve played festivals, second-lines and clubs.
