Wanna know more about the band? See below…

Founders Ivan Neville and Ian Neville (sons of both Aaron Neville and Art Neville respectively), along with Nick Daniels, Tony Hall, and Raymond Webber, were brought up in an atmosphere of sounds that have arguably become the most defining in all of New Orleans music. But don’t let the pedigree of lineage from the Meters and Neville Brothers fool you either. Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk now stands on its own as the legitimate torchbearer of all things funky both in New Orleans and beyond!

Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk is not re-writing the book so much as adding a much needed new testament. While fortunate enough to stand upon the shoulders of giants, make no mistake – this is not an attempt at world music or feel-good vibrations, like that of some of their counterparts, but rather straight-ahead inner city funk for the masses.

A Message from The Phunk…

When we hit the stage, be ready for some of the nastiest, most serial crushin funk to ever come out of New Orleans and beyond. With each member bringing his own flavor to the music, the power of this combination is undeniable. After several years of local gigs including Jazz Fest & Mardi Gras, we have placed the idea of spreading the Dumpstaphunk theory on the front burner. We are now ready to burn up the club & festival scene and usher in the new age of funk. Now Das Dumpsta!
