The funky Meters are:
Art "Poppa Funk" Neville - Keys
George Porter, Jr. - Bass
Brian Stoltz - Guitar
Terrence Houston - Drums
In their 25-year history, The Meters (now officially known as The Funky METERS) have grooved their way around the globe. They have toured with such talents as The Rolling Stones, and have been a studio band for such diverse artists as Dr. John, Paul McCartney, Robert Palmer, and Patti Labelle.
Considered by many to be the founding fathers of funk, The Meters created a unique sound that lasted through the sixties and seventies and was reborn in the late eighties. Their trademark sound blends funk, blues, and dance grooves with a New Orleans vibe.
In 1994, they were officially christened The Funky Meters. The band thought it only logical to put "funky" next to the word it best defines - Meters! The spirit and energy of the group is at its highest peak since the mid-seventies, and the enthusiasm of the fans continues to grow stronger with each performance.
