THE SOUL REBELS
Hailing from the heart of New Orleans, The Soul Rebels are an eight-piece brass powerhouse that turn every performance into a full-blown celebration. Blending soul, jazz, funk, hip-hop, rock, and pop, their horn-driven sound is explosive, danceable, and rooted in the city’s rich musical lineage—while always pushing the boundaries of modern live music.
Led by Lumar LeBlanc, Derrick Moss, and Marcus Hubbard, the band features Alijah Jett (trumpet), Corey Peyton and Paul Robertson (trombones), Douane Waples (sax), and Manuel Perkins Jr. (sousaphone). The Soul Rebels have built a reputation as one of the most dynamic and versatile brass ensembles performing today, known for their powerful live energy and genre-bending creativity. They also maintain a beloved weekly residency at Le Bon Temps Roulé in New Orleans.
They’ve shared stages with an incredible spectrum of artists—Metallica, Green Day, Nas, Rakim, Big Freedia, Trombone Shorty, GZA, Joey Bada$$—and brought their sound to global audiences across festivals, television, and major live events. Notable appearances include HBO’s Treme, Conan, BBC’s Later… with Jools Holland, the NFL Honors, the 2025 Super Bowl pre-game, and private performances for U.S. Presidents.
Their discography, from Unlock Your Mind (2012) to Poetry in Motion (2019), showcases their fearless creativity. Their mixtape Power = Power reimagined contemporary hits with live brass, earning OffBeat’s Best Rap or Hip-Hop Album/Mixtape award.
Praised as “the missing link between Public Enemy and Louis Armstrong” (Village Voice), The Soul Rebels continue to evolve as global ambassadors of New Orleans music—loud, proud, and unstoppable, one horn blast at a time.
