Funky Meters

Get a healthy dose of gumbo funk with the boisterous Funky Meters, who have been defining NOLA's sonic landscape since the '60s and are still led by founder Art "Poppa Funk" Neville. Let's see if NYC partyers can match the Southern rowdiness that these carefree jammers are accustomed to. Gedeon Luke and the People open Aug 8; Van Gordon Martin Band sets the stage Aug 9.
