The Soul Rebels Releases Video for 'Greatness' & Heads Out on Tour

Brass sensation THE SOUL REBELS, kick off their Poetry In Motion Tour in support of the new genre-bending album. In support of the tour launch, the eight-piece collective are turning heads with a new lyric video for the single "Greatness", tapped by ESPN as the official soundtrack of the 2019-20 college basketball season.

Famed New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival just announced the 2020 line up featuring the debut of new supergroup, Wu-Tang Clan featuring The Soul Rebels on May 1st, 2020.

The Soul Rebels are riding high having just returned from a historic week in Havana, Cuba alongside Tank and The Bangas, Trombone Shorty and Cuban superstar, Cimafunk. The New York Times explained further that: "Music has long formed a cultural bridge between Cuba and the United States regardless of the state of political relations, with Afro-Cuban rhythms like the habanera feeding into Afro-American music as early as the 19th century."

Marcus Hubbard of The Soul Rebels also spoke with Reuters saying:

"We are hoping that with us coming over, this can open up the door to more collaborations and things the U.S. and Cuba can come together on"

The Soul Rebels released their latest album Poetry in Motion in October 2019. The album has been featured in The New York Times, Billboards, Ebro's Apple Music Podcast, Forbes and Okayplayer. The album is packed full of guest appearances including Big Freedia, PJ Morton, Tank of Tank and The Bangas, Branford Marsalis, Kes, Trombone Shorty, Mannie Fresh and Matisyahu among others.
