Ivan Neville
Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk weaves a vocal and musical tapestry from key members of Dave Matthews & Friends, Harry Connick, Jr. and The Nevilles musical families.
Ivan Neville began absorbing the musical attitude of his father Aaron Neville and uncles Art, Charles and Cyril from birth. Ivan’s music honors and extends the Neville Family musical heritage, adding a distinctive new “level of Nevilles” that radiates from his roots and experiences. Ivan first joined the Neville Brothers in his mid-teens, then moved on to become a pivotal member of Keith Richards & The X-pensive Winos, Bonnie Raitt’s Band, and The Spin Doctors. His extensive credits include recording and/or performing with The Rolling Stones, Robbie Robertson, Willie Nelson, Angie Stone, Jack Cassady, Gov’t Mule, John Mayer, and numerous musical luminaries. Ivan is currently performing with The Neville Brothers in a global tour in support of the album he Co-Produced entitled Walking In The Shadow of Life. Ivan has recently jammed with the likes of The Black Crowes, Widespread Panic, Soulive, Galactic, North Mississippi AllStars, Gov’t Mule, Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe, Bob Weir’s Ratdog, Funky Meters, The Allman Brothers, Trey Anastasio and Dave Matthews.
Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk played at Jazz Fest 2005 on the main stage and have earned a legendary reputation for their live performances at multiple New Orleans venues (Tipitinas, Howlin’ Wolf, etc.) Recently Dumpstaphunk was nominated and won the Big Easy Awards as New Orleans “Best Funk Group” for the year.
