The Soul Rebels started with an idea – to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock all within a brass band context. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a deep pocket funk party-like atmosphere. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they feature in major films, tour globally, and combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.

They have performed and collaborated with a variety of superstars such as Katy Perry and DMX, they’ve been featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk series, their debut late night TV appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and have headlined a set at the TED Conference. Their explosive stage presence has led to live collabs with the likes of: Nas, G-Eazy, Robin Thicke, Macy Gray, Portugal. The Man, Robert Glasper, Pretty Lights, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$, Talib Kweli, GZA, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Mobb Deep, Raekwon, Lauryn Hill, Nile Rodgers and Metallica.

The band’s most recent album, Poetry in Motion, put the band front and center and showcased the wide breadth of musical genres and special collaborations that have come to identify this musically chameleon-like band.
