UPDATE: New Orleans legend Cyril Neville (The Meters, Neville Brothers) will join Dumpstaphunk, while Captain Kirk Douglas (The Roots) will play with Fishbone!

*****

Dumpstaphunk’s second annual Phunksgiving is set to be the funkiest way to spend your Thanksgiving Eve, this November 25th at The Capitol Theatre in Portchester, NY. The event, presented by Live for Live Music, will also feature Fishbone and many special guests TBA. Get tickets here.

Last year’s Phunksgiving throwdown featured guest appearances from Eric Krasno, Todd Stoops, and Brandon “Taz” Niederauer as the group tackled original tunes followed by a set of throwback covers from Parliament Funkadelic, The Meters, Sly and the Family Stone and more at B.B. Kings (read our review here). This year, between moving on up to The Cap and adding esteemed act Fishbone to the bill, you can be sure the show will be a night to remember.

Ivan Neville’s Dumpstaphunk from New Orleans has become a touring machine, coming in hot off a jam-packed summer making the rounds on the festival circuit and hitting venues all over the country. Ivan’s nephew Ian Neville and the rest of their phunky cohorts Nick Daniels, Tony Hall, and Alvin Ford Jr. make this a can’t-miss act when they come to town. The energy of their shows, combined with a unique sound, place them at a level above the rest.

Fishbone will be there to help fuel the party with their funk-infused ska/rock sound. The LA-based band has established themselves as a staple over the last 25+ years and continues to be a prominent entity on the scene, from touring with the likes of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Primus, The Roots and George Clinton to putting out an award-winning film, Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone.

Presale begins tomorrow, 9/30 at noon EST and run through Friday, 10/2 at 10 AM with code “PHUNKSGIVING”. All presale purchasers will receive a digital download for a free music sampler! Tickets will be available here.
