Ian Neville
As the son of Art “Papa Funk” Neville—the keyboardist who founded the Meters and the Neville Brothers—Ian was born funky. He was playing in Papa’s bands by his early teens, and Meter men Leo Nocentelli and Brian Stoltz taught him how to play funk guitar hand to hand. Nearly a decade ago, Ian and his keyboardist cousin Ivan Neville split off to form Dumpstaphunk, one of the hippest funk bands in the land.
