Dumpstaphunk has cemented its reputation as one of the most respected New Orleans musicalinstitutions. Ivan Neville (keyboards/vocals) and Ian Neville (guitar), the sons of Aaron Nevilleand Art “Poppa Funk” Neville, respectively, alongside original member Tony Hall (bass, guitar, vocals) have built upon their iconic NOLA legacy as they’ve transformed Dumpstaphunk into thecity’s pre-eminent 21st-century funk-fusion export. Both in the studio and on the stage, their performances have attracted sit-ins from the likes of Carlos Santana, Flea, Bob Weir, George Clinton, Chaka Khan, Dave Matthews, Trombone Shorty, and members of Phish, among manyothers. With the 2024 passing of elder statesman and local legend bassist/vocalist and co-founder of the band Nick Daniels III, the group continues its latest genesis with next-generation additions, including Deven Trusclair (drums), Alex Wasily (trombone), Ashlin Parker (trumpet), JohnMichael Bradford (trumpet), Ari Teitel (guitar), and special guest vocalist Rebekkah Todd andothers along the way. Critical acclaim and undeniable musicality permeate their 4 studio albums and opening slots forthe Rolling Stones on their home turf at the New Orleans Mercedes-Benz Superdome (2019) and New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Fest (2024). Modernizing and reinvigorating the influentialNeville/Meters family groove has been one of the driving forces of Dumpstaphunk since theband spontaneously formed during JazzFest in 2003. Their original music and prolific liveperformances combine ingenious musicianship exercised within complex funk, rock, and R&Barrangements accompanied by soulful quadruple harmonies and Big Easy traditions.
