MODLIN CENTER FOR THE ARTS PRESENTS THE SOUL REBELS ABOUT THE BAND Brass sensation The Soul Rebels started with an idea - to expand upon the pop music they loved on the radio and the New Orleans brass tradition they grew up on. They took that tradition and blended funk and soul with elements of hip hop, jazz and rock all within the style of a modernized and contemporary brass band.

The Soul Rebels built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a party-like atmosphere. The eightmember collective frequently appear on major record label releases with star artists including Sony Music artist G-Eazy’s single ‘When You’re Gone” featuring Lil Wayne, Def Jam artist Dave East and Nas’ “Godfather 4”, Big Freedia and Icona Pop’s “Pipe That” and Warner Music Group artist Phony Ppl’s new album. The Soul Rebels have scored original music for Walt Disney’s 2023 movie Haunted Mansion and appeared on the official soundtrack for Universal Pictures’ hit comedy Girls Trip.

The Soul Rebels have impressed viewers with two appearances on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, featured on NPR’s Tiny Desk series with Wu Tang Clan front man GZA, and headlined the global TED Conference.

The Soul Rebels are riding high in 2024 after receiving national attention following the release of their new album, Poetry In Motion.

The Soul Rebels continue to expand their international reach touring four continents including Europe, Australia, China, South Korea and Japan. Their explosive stage presence has led to live collaborations with the likes of Katy Perry, Nas, G-Eazy, DMX, Robin Thicke, Macy Gray, Portugal. The Man, Robert Glasper, Pretty Lights, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Matisyahu and most notably their new supergroup with the legendary Wu Tang Clan.

The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory and are respected for their ability to combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate peace, love and soul.

This evening’s performance will last approximately 90 minutes, without intermission.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS DERRICK MOSS, Bass Drum, Co-founder Actually, it’s Derrick “Oops” Moss. I was born in Charity Hospital and went to Lafayette Elementary (several years before “Lil’ Wayne”). I attended school at McMain Magnet, where I learned how to read and perform concert music, and where I learned to play drums and percussion. I finished my last two years of high school at Alcee Fortier School, where I marched as the tenor drum section leader in the school band with “Slim”, CEO of Cash Money Records.

After graduating high school, I joined the Southern University Marching Band, where I became their Drum Major, (as a freshman!) After graduating from Southern with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Design, I joined the US Air Force Reserve. After basic training, I moved back home to New Orleans, where I joined the “Young Olympia Brass Band”, which was the launching pad for the introduction of the “Soul Rebels” to the world. And the rest, as they say, is HISTORY!

LUMAR LEBLANC, Snare Drum, Co-founder I was born in New Orleans, where I attended Corpus Christi grammar school, and the famous St. Augustine High School. As a Texas Southern University graduate, my musical influences include the Olympia and Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and The Doors.

Currently I am married with two children. My Nickname is Big Cheeky. My favorite food is red beans & rice. My favorite cars are Porsche. I like Air Jordan shoes and I like to wear Polo Ralph Lauren. My motto is: “Treat people the way you want to be treated.”

JULIAN GOSIN, Trumpet Originally from the 7th Ward neighborhood in New Orleans, I have performed with numerous brass bands such as Rebirth, Hot 8, Free Agents, New Birth, and Treme.

For my high school years, I am a proud graduate of John F. Kennedy High School, and the prestigious New Orleans Center for the Creative Arts (N.O.C.C.A).

I am also a graduate of Dillard University with a B.A. in Communications. I have been sharing my gift and love of music with people across the world and never plan on stopping.

COREY PEYTON, Trombone I am one of the newest additions to the Soul Rebels, and proud to say I was born and raised in the musical city of New Orleans. I graduated from Sarah T. Reed High School, where I played in the marching band.

In 2005, some friends and I decided to start a brass band of our own. Since creating that band, I have gone on to play with numerous bands such as Kinfolks, Hot 8, and also Rebirth. Currently, I attend Berklee College of Music in Boston for Music Production.

ERION WILLIAMS, Saxophone I am a native of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans and have been in the Soul Rebels since 2005. Before joining the Soul Rebels, I was a member of the

Stooges Brass Band and Mahogany Brass Band.

I attended highly respected St. Augustine High School, where I was a member and drum major of the world famous Marching 100 band. During my years at Xavier University of Louisiana, I received numerous awards and accolades for my musical ability and knowledge of music as well as getting B.A. in Music studies.

PAUL ROBERTSON, Trombone I hail from Kenner, a suburb of New Orleans. I am a new addition to the Soul Rebels, as of 2010. Before joining the Soul Rebels, I was a member of several New Orleans bands, including Smitty Dee’s, Algiers, and The Palmetto Bug Stompers, just to name a few.

My educational institutions include: Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Saint Augustine High School, and Xavier University of Louisiana.

MANUEL PERKINS JR., Sousaphone Born and raised in New Orleans, LA by way of the 9th ward, I began playing tuba in 2007 while playing in the McDonogh 35 High School marching band. In 2011, I discovered my love for brass band music which inspired me to form my own band. After completing high school in 2011, I went on to further my musical study at the University of New Orleans, graduating in 2016 with a Bachelors in Music Performance.

My musical resume includes playing with several prominent bands such as The Stooges, Kinfolk, and Hot 8 to name a few.

MARCUS HUBBARD, Trumpet I was born in the 7th Ward, and grew up in East New Orleans. I went to Sarah T. Reed High School.

Although I hail from New Orleans, I have been living in Houston since 2005, as a result of Hurricane Katrina.

I went to Southern University in Baton Rouge, majoring in music education. I started playing the trumpet 1988. In 1994, I won an NAACP competition in classical music. Although classical music is my first love, I started playing jazz in 1994. I became a member of Soul Rebels in 1998. Aside from my work with the Soul Rebels, I do production work for some local hip hop artists.
