LIVE SHOW SHOTS: Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk at Concord in Chicago 10/2013 #OriginalPhotos

Check out Grammy nominated New Orleans funk boys, Ivan Neville's Dumpstaphunk (pictured with the I Will Funk You To Death Tee). 

Click here to check out our prior video interview with the band, where they describe a near death car accident from the night before!   We had the chance to interview them at Summer Camp Music Festival earlier this year, over Memorial Day Weekend.  

Here's a slide show of our full set of originals from their recent show at Chicago's new Concord Music Hall.   



Our favorite original show shots are embedded below.

New Orleans princes of funk, Ivan and his cousin Ian Neville (sons of Aaron and Art), continue the family tradition as touring musicians with a talented lineup in Dumpstaphunk. 

Check out our interview for their account of a harrowing, near death experience the night before, when another driver fell asleep with the cruise control on, careened across the median and came within feet of a head on collision with their van!!   What doesn't kill you gives you great song material.

@dumpstaphunk made the ballot to become a nominee at The GRAMMYs for their new album DIRTY WORD. If you are a voting member, please vote for “Best Blues Album” #030 in Category 45 to get them in there! #dirtyword #nofunkcategory
