CYRIL NEVILLE
THE GRAMMY AWARD WINNING NEVILLE BROTHERS
The Nevilles continue to provoke, entertain and excite audiences around the globe. Their similarity/diversity dynamic continues on its paradoxical path. They play together; they play apart. Each of the four brothers pursue projects of their own. Aaron has forged a highly successful solo career. Art tours with an offshoot group he calls the Funky Meter. For years Cyril has led the Uptown All stars. Charles has recorded a series of critically acclaimed jazz records. Yet the heart of the matter is family. Family brings them together. Family keeps them together. Family is everything. Without Family, there is a gaping void. With family, there is the miracle of Neville music, four brothers, bonded by blood, creating some of the funkiest sounds this world has ever heard. - David Ritz

TRIBE 13Bridging the gap between funk and rap, as well as art and politics, Cyril Neville stands tall as a fulcrum point between like-minded cultures. Long before KRS-One infused his boom-bap with dancehall chatting, Neville was incorporating reggae rhythms into his second-line repertoire. Bringing their fight from the turf to the club, TRIBE 13 follows the lead of their beloved Uncle Big Chief Jolly to expose their neighborhood's reverence for Native American compassion.

BOX OF PICTURES the new record by the Voice of the Wetlands All-stars OUT IN FEBRUARY
‘It’s hard for me to sleep at night, I’ve got these heartbreaking dreams…well now since I’ve been downhearted, I’ve got the blues for New Orleans...’ “Blues for New Orleans”
In their prescient 2005 recording, “Voice of the Wetlands”, the group warned of impending cultural and environmental threats. “Box of Pictures” finds the group rightfully lashing out at and through the collective suffering that occurred when threat became reality.
’ Dreams I once knew, they’ve now been taken away from me, just like this river runs down to the sea“Crescent City Moon”
‘You call for help, and no one hears, that your people have been left to die…’ “Murder in New Orleans”
The Essential Cyril Neville (MC RECORDS)
"Besides applying a rock-hard edge to Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady,” Neville joins with a large choir to transform Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are A-Changing” into a soul-emitting gospel experience. He even touches on hip-hop and rap on the Marvin Gaye-like “Projects,” and the horn-driven closing tune, “Funkaliscious,” would make Sly Stone envious. Guests include the Soul Rebels Brass Band, Big Chief Iron Horse, and a half dozen Nevilles. But it’s Cyril Neville’s own spirited performance that makes this CD essential.

Brand New Blues (MC RECORDS)For his fourth solo album, youngest Neville Brother Cyril has taken a break from his group Tribe 13 and made a successful return to the blues. But this is no ordinary blues. It's a gumbo cookin', alligator whuppin' serving of blues – Louisiana style.
Using a crew of decorated musicians including guitarist Tab Benoit and Neville family members Ian, Ivan and Art, Brand New Blues seasons the medium's conventional structures with just the right amount of New Orleans funk to avoid over-powering the mix." ....THE BBC READ MORE
