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 decares 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.
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.
Mr. Neville has recorded with a Who’s Who of the rock world including Bob Dylan, Jimmy Buffett, Dr. John, Willie Nelson, Branford Marsalis, and Carlos Santana. He is a prolific writer, co-authoring songs with Bono, Allen Toussant, Trombone Shorty and Taj Mahal among many. Mr. Neville has made a number of television appearances including Saturday Night Live, NCIS: New Orleans and HBO’s Treme. For many years he also operated his own Endangered Species record label.
Perhaps Mr. Neville’s greatest joy is singing, recording and performing with his son Omari Neville whose band Omari Neville and the Fuel tours as Omari’s backup band. With refreshed management and talent agency, Cyril Neville is highly prolific and unstoppable in this next phase of his career with new music releasing monthly for the army of fans of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, Meters, Uptown Ruler, Neville Brothers and fans of New Orleans music and culture.
