The Soul Rebels

Aug 11, Saturday - 9pm
Blues/Big Easy Stage

After receiving national attention with a debut late night TV appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the eight-piece brass ensemble The Soul Rebels have taken the world by storm with tours on four continents and collaborating live with Nas, G-Eazy, Robert Glasper, Curren$y, Joey Bada$$, Talib Kweli, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Marilyn Manson and Lauryn Hill, among many others.

In 2018, The Soul Rebels have received notable attention for their performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk series, their headlining set at the global TED Conference and their appearance and official soundtrack feature for Universal Pictures’ hit comedy Girls Trip.

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. When not touring, The Soul Rebels’ weekly show at New Orleans’ Le Bon Temps Roulé is known to erupt with the kind of contagious, shout-along musical mayhem that the Rebels bring with them wherever they perform.

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.
