In this episode, we sit down with Ivan Neville and Tony Hall of Dumpstaphunk backstage at the High Sierra Music Festival for a lively conversation about friendship, family, and the unmistakable sound of New Orleans funk.
From their teenage years playing alongside musicians connected to The Meters and The Neville Brothers to their individual journeys and eventual partnership in Dumpstaphunk, Ivan and Tony share stories, memories, and a few surprises they hadn't even shared with each other.
Hear how The Neville Brothers "stole" Ivan's drummer, the surprising history behind Tony's band Joyride, and how a side project became one of New Orleans' most beloved funk bands.
We also explore the deep connection between New Orleans and the Bay Area music scenes, the importance of passing musical traditions to the next generation, and those unforgettable moments onstage when everything just clicks.
It's a conversation filled with laughter, musical history, and the kind of stories that only come out in the green room.

Speaker 2:No. It was a series of events. They had a a band, and then their drummer, the original NEVILLE BROVERS drummer
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 2:His name was Newton Moss, amazing musician. He had a life changing experience, and he stopped playing music. And then they needed a drummer. And who was the best fit? It was the cat that was
Speaker 3:special with
Speaker 1:him. Of course.
Speaker 2:So my drummer went and played with them. You know what's funny? We did a couple of gigs without him, like, by three gigs. And then we knew it was over. Yeah.

Speaker 2:You know? Yeah. Men. You're the youngest.
Speaker 1:If that's what you wanna say. The kid was kicked,
Speaker 2:I think, was I 17, 18. Don't think I was 18 yet. So I had Thad in the band with me before he went and played with Paul McCartney. Oh, wow.
Speaker 3:A lot of incest.

Speaker 1:I saw you. I
Speaker 2:saw I
Speaker 3:saw of that band? Was there... Do you have your own
Speaker 2:That band was called Renegade. Renegade. Which was funny, I stole the name of that band from my dad. Because he had a band... Him and Jimmy Vallero had a band called Renegade.
Speaker 2:Yeah. I remember that. And then they did the dads and all T and Cyril and Charles linked up to form a number of others. Yeah. So that there was nobody using the band, the name Renegade.
