Dumpstaphunk Tour

Dumpstaphunk

Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk has been a much applauded act at festivals and venues across the country for the last several years. The band would make short trips out of New Orleans and return quickly back home to their respective gigs performing with other acts. Recently, however, the band has decided to devote all efforts towards Dumpstaphunk as full-time occupation. The band will begin their first national tour on August 25 in Chicago at Beat Kitchen and stay on the road through the end of September. See below for a complete list of tour dates.

Formed in 2003, Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk was initially put together by keyboardist Ivan Neville on a whim in order to perform a solo gig at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Ivan called in cousin Ian Neville (guitar), the double-bass bottom of both Nick Daniels and Tony Hall, and drummer Raymond Webber to round out the show. Named after a song Ivan had recently written, Dumpstaphunk’s informal performance became that of immediate legend. The project has since grown from chance side-project into what is now widely considered to be New Orleans’ most popular musical export. The band was recently voted 2007’s “Best Funk Band” by both Offbeat Magazine and Gambit Weekly, and performs at some of the nation’s largest music festivals such as Bonnaroo, Voodoo Fest, 10,000 Lakes, and High Sierra.
