A Celebration of The Meters: Dumpstaphunk featuring George Porter Jr.

About

Don't miss this special performance by New Orleans modern funk ensemble, Dumpstaphunk, featuring original member of The Meters' George Porter Jr. on bass for an unforgettable evening. 

New Orleans’ funk outfit, The Meters (George Porter Jr., Leo Nocentelli, Zigaboo Modeliste, Art Neville and produced by Alan Toussaint), produced some of the most vibrant funk this universe has ever known. The band’s deep pocket was utilized by music icons Dr. John, Paul McCartney, Patti Labelle, Robert Palmer, and many others (and their samples included in hip hop classics by Public Enemy and more); however, The Meters’ catalogue is most celebrated through the slew of songs covered by the likes of Widespread Panic, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Grateful Dead and countless others in their performances.  Concertgoers rejoice at the familiar opening riffs of The Meters classics Hey Pocky Way, Cissy Strut, and Just Kissed My Baby.

Dumpstaphunk with their rooted pedigree, alongside original groove creator George Porter Jr. will lead this party, funking out all the revelers.
