Dumpstaphunk has spent nearly two decades establishing itself as a cornerstone of New Orleans music, earning a reputation as a next-generation funk institution rooted in the legacy of the Neville family and The Meters. Their electrifying live shows have drawn sit-ins from legends like Carlos Santana, Bob Weir, George Clinton, Dave Matthews, and members of Phish, with major milestones including opening for the Rolling Stones in New Orleans and touring with Dave Matthews Band.
Formed spontaneously during Jazz Fest in 2003, the band carries forward and modernizes the iconic New Orleans funk tradition. Blending deep, gritty grooves with elements of rock and jazz, their sound delivers masterful musicianship, soulful melodies, and unmistakable Big Easy spirit that keeps audiences moving.
