Art Neville - organ ("Time to Confess")

By about 1952, he had joined the Hawkettes, but left before they recorded, being replaced in the group by Art Neville.

Art Neville sat in with them, and the idea of a Meters reunion was born.

Along with Art Neville, Porter formed the group in the mid 1960s and came to be recognized as one of the progenitors of funk.

After one of the shows, Art Neville came up to him saying he was trying to start a band and asked if he would like to join.

Art Neville reached out to Paul Howrilla (personal manager for Dr. John) and told him that he always wanted to do something with his brothers.

Due to the health problems of Art Neville, the band kept low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s.

For this show, they're on their own, although since Art Neville is playing the club's early set with the Neville Brothers, there's no telling what might happen.

Art Neville, the group's frontman, launched a solo career around the New Orleans area in the mid-1950s while still in high school.
