Commenting on the tour, The Soul Rebels’ manager, Alex Kurland, emphasized their commitment to working with the best in the industry. "When The Soul Rebels collaborate, it is with highly respected and iconic artists," said Kurland. "Whether it's projects with the Wu Tang Clan, Nas, Branford Marsalis, Metallica, Robert Glasper, DMX or Katy Perry, The Soul Rebels aim to push musical boundaries and celebrate the richness of their artistic expression."

The Soul Rebels will also perform a special, one-night only show on June 19 at the Ardmore Music Hall, located outside of Philadelphia in Ardmore, Pennsylvania.

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.
