The Soul Rebels, a New Orleans-based brass ensemble, has been infusing their music with soul, jazz, funk, hip-hop, rock, and pop to create a unique contemporary sound ever since the group was founded in the early 1990s. Originally formed by drummers Derrick Moss and Lumar LeBlanc, the band aimed to bring a fresh, energetic approach to the brass band tradition they grew up with. Throughout their career, The Soul Rebels have become known for their dynamic live shows and for pushing the boundaries of the New Orleans brass band tradition into new and uncharted territories.

Their discography is a testament to the group's evolution and genre-blending bravado. From albums like "Unlock Your Mind," which speaks to their jazz and funk-infused roots, to the gritty and eclectic mix found in "Poetry in Motion," they continue to expand their musical range. The "Sweet Dreams EP" and "Nothing But Love - EP" showcase their ability to reinterpret and reinvigorate popular melodies with their distinctive brassy flair. Live recordings like "No Place Like Home: Live in New Orleans" capture the raw, unadulterated energy of their stage performances, harkening back to their deep-seated connections with the vibrant spirit of their hometown. With each release, including "St. Thomas" and "More Motion: Bonus Tracks from Poetry in Motion," The Soul Rebels continue to affirm their status as innovative torchbearers of the New Orleans sound.
