Cyril Nevill Plays The Dead @ The Odeum

Cyril Neville, the Uptown Ruler, brings a lifetime of dreams come true. This two-time grammy winning icon is brilliant and beautiful on stage and in his recorded work. In this new chapter of his creative life, Cyril levels up even more with new songs, a fresh perspective on his decades of performance worldwide and a determined eye on the future. As Quint Davis, fonder and head of the new Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival watching Mr. Neville perform at the 2025 Jazz Fest Congo Square Stage said,” He’s still got it.”

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. Mr. Neville is a vocalist, songwriter, percussionist, painter, cultural icon and activist who richly deserves his Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
