"All music is good music,"she says firmly. "I try to cover the whole spectrum and do just everything. I don't want to be stagnated and stuck in a rut....People ask,'Oh,what category would you put your music in?' and I say, 'Good!'"
Born into the third generation of the New Orleans legendary musical family, Charmaine has nonetheless worked hard to get where she is and make her music known as her own. The work has paid off - as one reviewer recently wrote, "Charmaine Neville is beginning to rival her father and uncles in terms of popularity in New Orleans." She started out backing up the Neville Brothers and went on to perform with the survivors, a band whose alumni list includes Harry Connick Jr. and Bobby McFerrin. It was here that she first started working with saxophonist Reggie Houston.

Can't go to Mardi Gras? Then bring it to you (at least musically)!
author: Carl McCaskey
I have found early on that the Neville family is the most talented family ever in the musical world. Now with that said, let me tell ya, this CD fully captures the spirit of Carnival Time in New Orleans. Charmaine Neville takes well-known and beloved Mardi Gras songs and gives them a freshness that can only come from someone who truly loves it all: the parades, the second line...everything good about Carnival Time. It matters not whether you are a Carnival veteran or live thousands of miles away from the Crescent City, Charmaine Neville's "Queen of the Mardi Gras" is a must-have for every Mardi Gras party.
