They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and pop all within a brass band context. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns & drums in a deeply funky 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. Most recently The Soul Rebels wrapped up recording for their upcoming fall 2019 album, Poetry in Motion. The album will put the band front and center and showcase the wide breadth of musical genres and collaborations that have come to identify the musically chameleon-like band.
