“Dumpstaphunk is the best funk band from New Orleans right now,” says the NEW YORK TIMES. “Dumpstaphunk has grown from a small side project into one of New Orleans’ most prestigious modern funk ensembles,” states ROLLING STONE.
World-Renowned & Acclaimed Funk, Fusion and R&B Powerhouse Ensemble DUMPSTAPHUNK have cemented themselves as one of the funkiest bands to ever arise from the Crescent City. Born on the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival stage, and descended from Neville & Meters family bloodlines, these soldiers of funk ignite a deep, gritty groove that dares listeners not to move. Over the past 17 years, Dumpstaphunk has earned its reputation as a highly respected next-generation New Orleans musical institution, the type of band whose live performances have attracted sit-ins from legends like Carlos Santana, Bob Weir, George Clinton and members of Phish. Alongside original core members Tony Hall & Nick Daniels, and the new additions of Alex Wasily, Ryan Nyther and Drummer Devin Trusclair, Ivan and Ian Neville (the sons of Aaron Neville & Art "Poppa Funk" Neville) have built upon their family's iconic NOLA legacy as they've transformed Dumpstaphunk into the pre-eminent 21st-century funk-fusion band!
