The Meters February 6, 2008

After more than 25 years of separation, Art Neville, Zigaboo Modeliste, George Porter Jr., and Leo Nocentelli return to festival, concert and club stages as the supergroup that put New Orleans funk on the map and that continues to exert an unparalleled influence on American roots and popular music. The Meters' unique place as a touchstone for countless jam bands and as one of the most sampled groups in all of hip hop and pop music has kept it relevant to contemporary audiences in a way that few, if any other 70's groups can claim. Known for their legendary live performances, The Neville Brothers have helped lay the foundation for the New Orleans music community.
