The Neville Brothers have been a mainstay in NOLA/funk music since the 70’s, and now the four brothers are reuniting to bid a fond farewell to their legacy. All four members, Aaron, Art, Charles, and Cyril, will be on hand for Nevilles Forever: A Celebration Of The Neville Brothers And Their Music, on May 2nd at the historic Saenger Theatre in New Orleans.
Considering the brothers’ last performance together was at the Hollywood Bowl in 2012, this NOLA tribute will be a fitting send off for these fantastic, influential musicians. Directed by the great Don Was, the show has already announced a stacked lineup, with Widespread Panic, Trombone Shorty, Galactic, Allen Toussaint, Irma Thomas, Terence Blanchard, Ivan Neville, John Boutté, Anders Osborne and Ian Neville all slated to perform.
A statement from Was reads: “The Neville Brothers are the royal family of New Orleans funk. Individually each brother is a musical powerhouse unto himself, but when they play together they create musical magic. The fact that they’ve come home to New Orleans for this show makes it all the more special.”
Tickets for the event go on sale this Monday, February 16th, at 10 AM central. More artists are expected to be announced within the coming weeks, so don’t sleep on these tickets!
