If jazz music is the heart of New Orleans, then the Soul Rebels' music is the blood that it pumps through the city's body. The Soul Rebels have always been praised for
their unique blend of hip hop and jazz. "Soul Rebels, which consist of
Lemar LeBlanc, Damien Francois, Tannon Williams, Derrick Moss, Winston
Turner, Marcus Hubbard, and Erion Williams, has managed to craft a
sound based on the structure of a hip hop song while maintaining the
soul of a brass band. The consistent melodic grooves at the heart of
the band's music provide a smooth foundation over which rap verses and
horn solos alike can flourish without any awkward moments." - Where Y'At Magazine
The
Soul Rebels were destined for success. After parading around the
streets of New Orleans in the traditions of the second line and jazz
funerals, the Soul Rebels began their professional debut with the famed
Neville Brothers in New Orleans at the Hot Spot Tipitina’s! The Soul
Rebels rocked so hard and so strong they continued opening for the
Neville Brothers and beyond. The bands hard funk groove has landed them
gigs as an opening act for: Bootsy Collins, A Tribe Called Quest,
Better than Ezra, Counting Crows, The Fugees, Digital Underground, The
Roots, Brand New Heavies, The Gap Band and Robert Plant & Jimmy
Page just to name a few. The Soul Rebels have traveled the US and
abroad, bringing their live and uncut rhythms as far as England, Italy,
and France.
