Considered by many to be the "Founding Fathers of Funk," THE METERS created a unique sound that made them the preeminent funk band of the sixties and
seventies.

Their trademark sound blended funk, blues and dance grooves into a gumbo of upbeat New Orleans vibe. They toured with The Rolling Stones (75 dates in the 1970's in the U.S. and Europe), served as the studio band for Paul McCartney, Robert Palmer and Dr. John - and bands such as The Grateful Dead, Widespread Panic!, Ben Harper and The Neville Brothers often played their music.
