Cyril Neville

Celebrate Mardi Gras with New Orleans icon Cyril Neville! Plus, Tumbleroot Table will be posting a special Nola-style cuisine pop-up during this event.

Cyril Neville is one of the founding fathers of the New Orleans signature funky soul, rock jazz sound that has influenced countless artists and entertained millions of fans over his 5- decade career. He is a vocalist, songwriter, percussionist, painter, cultural icon, and activist.

Born in 1948 in New Orleans, the youngest of the Neville Brothers was raised in a musical household, with his brothers Aaron, Art and Charles all making waves on the local musical scene. Their uncle George Landry was Big Chief Jolly of the Wild Tchoupitoulas Mardi Gras Indian Tribe, and young Cyril cut his teeth singing and playing percussion with the group. At 19, he joined his brother’s band, Art Neville and the Neville Sounds, and released his first single a year later.
