PORTLAND — Funk band Dumpstaphunk will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, at Port City Music Hall, 504 Congress St.

A decade evolved from their debut at the 2003 New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, Dumpstaphunk offers fans an unforgettable live experience steeped in the Big Easy tradition of a good time.

The quintet features Ivan Neville on vocals, B3 and Clav; the double bass attack and soulful voices of Tony Hall and Nick Daniels III; Ian Neville on guitar; and the monster addition of Nikki Glaspie on drums and vocals.

“We always keep the spontaneity going, that’s something I love about this band,” said Ivan Neville. “We can funk it out with the best of them, but we also like to showcase how all sorts of music can come together and push the boundaries of what funk music is.”

“We just hope to spread the good word through funk,” added Glaspie. “If we can create an escape, give people a reason to get down and forget their problems, then we’re doing what we set out to do.”

This is an 18-and-older show. Tickets are $12 and $15. For more information, call 207-899-4990 or visit www.dumpstaphunk.com/.
