*Are you a fan of New Orleans big brass bands?  How about Big FreediaMacy Gray?  You may know what a brass band is, but I have come across a New Orleans brass band, The Soul Rebels, which is taking brass bands to whole other level.

The Soul Rebels combine a fusion of funk, soul, hip hop, jazz, and rock to come up with a very distinctive sound and are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with.

They have teamed up and performed with some of the biggest artists around and now they are coming to Los Angeles on their THE WAY UP TOUR and bringing Big Freedia and Macy Gray with them. So, If live in, or will be in SoCal, you do not need to take a plane to get the New Orleans feel.  Just come to The Theatre at Ace Hotel on February 16, 2019.soul rebels -poster1

Known for their distinctive style, their work with artists like Nas, G-Eazy, GZA, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Metallica keeps the group ever relevant. After a landmark year of live collaborations with Marilyn Manson, Portugal the Man, DMX and Matisyahu, they are truly on the way up, the given name of their tour. Following debut national TV appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and NPR’S Tiny Desk with hip hop legend GZA, The Soul Rebels are foreseeing a national revolution of brass bands.
