Ivan Neville

Besides Ivan Neville (son of Aaron Neville, nephew of Art and Cyril - The Funky Meters) being the name it wouldn't be fair to call Dumpstaphunk, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk.  It may have started that way, with a pickup band for a NOLA solo gig that remains almost intact to this day: Nick Daniels III (bass), Tony Hall (bass), Ian Neville (guitar).   The newest member (replacing original drummer Raymond Weber) is the impressive Nikki Glaspie, a Maryland native and Berklee College educated musician whose skills (like Ivan's cousin Ian's) betray their years. It's clear now that this is a group enterprise- not bandleader and sidepeople. Ivan said as much in brief conversation before their barnstorming performance at Toronto's historic El Mocambo: "We all write, we all sing, Ian doesn't sing, we all write parts together."
