The band was originally formed by Lumar LeBlanc and Derrick Moss, who were previously members of New Orleans' iconic Dejean's Young Olympia Brass Band. These two musicians decided to make music that stuck to the traditions of New Orleans jazz but reinvigorated with elements of R&B, funk and hip hop elements for a contemporary touch. Since they first began performing professionally, The Soul Rebels have shared the stage with Arcade Fire, The Roots, Bootsy Collins, Robert Plant and Jimmy Page, Counting Crows, Green Day and many more.

2013 was an explosive year for The Soul Rebels. After riding high from a blowout CMJ Showcase at New York’s Highline Ballroom, packed shows at Austin City Limits, The Soul Rebels returned to their hometown of New Orleans to play as the house band for the nationally televised 2013 NFL Honors Awards Show hosted by Alec Baldwin on CBS Superbowl weekend. How do you follow up a show like that? As only the Soul Rebels can, with three sold out nights at New York’s Brooklyn Bowl and festival spots all the way from Australia to Indonesia . The Soul Rebels brought the party all over the world, three tours of Europe and a tour in Brazil, And the party’s just getting started.
