Ohio Northern University’s Freed Center for the Performing Arts will present The Soul Rebels Brass Band in the Stambaugh Theater on Friday, Jan. 25, at 7:30 p.m. The concert is being held in conjunction with the Martin Luther King Jr. celebration week at ONU.
The Soul Rebels is an eight-piece New Orleans-based brass ensemble that incorporates elements of soul, jazz, funk, hip-hop, rock and pop music within a contemporary brass band framework. The band grew from their New Orleans brass style out of the desire of original members Lumar LeBlanc and Derrick Moss to play the music they heard on the radio with respect to the New Orleans brass band tradition.
