Brass sensation 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 the style of a modernized and contemporary brass ensemble.
The Soul Rebels are riding high in 2024 after receiving national attention following the release of their album, Poetry In Motion. Building a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a party-like atmosphere, the eight-member collective frequently appears on major record label releases with star artists including Sony Music artist G-Eazy’s single ‘When You’re Gone” featuring Lil Wayne, Def Jam artist Dave East and Nas’ “Godfather 4”, Big Freedia and Icona Pop’s “Pipe That” and Warner Music Group artist Phony Ppl’s newest release. The Soul Rebels have scored original music for Walt Disney’s 2023 movie Haunted Mansion and appeared on the official soundtrack for Universal Pictures' hit comedy Girls Trip.
The Soul Rebels have impressed viewers with two appearances on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” featured on “NPR's Tiny Desk” series with Wu Tang Clan frontman GZA, and headlined the global TED Conference.
The famed group continues to expand their international reach, touring four continents including Europe, Australia, China, South Korea and Japan. Their explosive stage presence has led to live collaborations with the likes of Katy Perry, Nas, G-Eazy, DMX, Robin Thicke, Macy Gray, Portugal. The Man, Robert Glasper, Pretty Lights, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Matisyahu, and most notably their new supergroup with the legendary Wu Tang Clan.
