Charmaine Neville and her band dish out a spicy mix of the best of New Orleans music, from the nastiest of blues to some V-8-driven R&B. Add a funky rhythm and some jazzy ballads, and you've got yourself one helluva Crescent City gumbo.
"All music is good music," Charmaine says firmly. "I try to cover the whole spectrum and do just everything. I don't want to be stagnated and stuck in a rut. People ask, 'Oh, what category would you put your music in?' and I say, 'Good!'"
Born into the third generation of the New Orleans legendary musical family, Charmaine Neville has nonetheless worked hard to get where she is and make her music known as her own. The work has paid off – as one reviewer recently wrote, "Charmaine Neville is beginning to rival her father and uncles in terms of popularity in New Orleans."
She started out backing up the Neville Brothers and went on to perform with the Survivors, a band whose alumni list includes Harry Connick Jr. and Bobby McFerrin. It was here that she first started working with saxophonist Reggie Houston.
The band, certainly one of the best to come out of New Orleans, is co-led by natty piano wizard Amasa Miller and Fats Domino graduate Reggie Houston on sax.Devoted fans worldwide acclaim the Charmaine Neville Band. They've played festivals and clubs in Rome, Paris, Copenhagen, Germany, Japan, and Barbados. |
