Dumpstaphunk has created one of the most engaging funk sounds of the last modern music scene, and there’s no shortage of love for them among fans of the genre. Events like Jam Cruise, which feature dozens of the funkiest musicians on the planet, regularly turn into virtual parades of the best of the best joining Dumpsta onstage to take the jams to another level. During their performance on the boat’s Pantheon Theater, Dumpstaphunk saw Trombone Shorty, Roosevelt Collier, Nigel Hall and The Steeltown Horns bring the sound of New Orleans to a very appreciative crowd.
Luckily, our own Rex Thomson was on hand to catch the mayhem. Check out the live performance of ‘Meanwhile,’ below:
For those looking to get down to the New Orleans sound, the newly-announced NOLA Crawfish Festival is the place to be. Taking place between the weekends of Jazz Fest, the Crawfish Festival will feature George Porter, Jr., Jon Cleary, Nigel Hall, John “Papa” Gros, special guest Anders Osborne and so many more!
