The Neville Brothers

Not sure if there are any Neville Brothers fans here on the pit? Hello!
With the upcoming New Orleans Jazzfest Eddie Vedder show I thought I'd start a thread

Seeing this band play to their hometown crowd will be on par with Ed's show, imo
Also can't wait for Aaron's gospel tent show

I know Ed gets Art Neville's side group, The Meters...not that his opinion really matters... 8-)


Here's a cool show worth checking out the day after Ed's show.
Friday, May 04, 2012 10:00 PM CDT (9:00 PM Doors) Republic ( Downtown core-NOLA )
Bill Kreutzmann of the Grateful Dead and his Nola-based band mates in 7 Walkers will perform with the hot new band Royal Southern Brotherhood featuring Cyril Neville and Devon Allman. So there will be a former Grateful Dead member, with a Neville and an Allman on this show. In addition, Zion Rock Godchaux (son of former Grateful Dead members Keith & Donna Godchaux) will close out the night with his underground electronica meets psychedelic rock band BoomBox.
Royal Southern Brotherhood 10pm
7 Walkers 11:30pm
BoomBox 2:00am

Love the Nevilles. They put on a phenomenal show wherever they are. Saw them at the Jazz Festival in Saratoga 20 years ago and to this day, it's the single best set I ever saw there. I also saw them at a free concert in smallbany a bunch of years ago and had a beer with Cerille (sp?) (he had a soda or something) at the hotel we shared after. Great show, also.

Seeing them in NOLA would be awesome.

So cool! Welcome!!

LOVE Cryril...prolly my fave of the brothers! Though they are all killer musicians/singers


This show was the first time I saw them. I was hooked that day and haven't stopped seeing them ever since

As someone who spent five years in New Orleans, of course I love the Neville Brothers.

But, in all honesty, I'm more partial to the Meters...Art, Leo Nocentelli, George Porter & Zigaboo...gotta love that N'awlins fonk!
