This week’s Past, Present, Future, Live! features New Orleans trailblazers The Soul Rebels, whose eight-piece brass ensemble continues to push the boundaries of New Orleans' musical tradition. We talk with Soul Rebels founder and drummer Lumar LeBlanc and trumpet players Marcus Hubbard and Julian Gosin about the band’s path from side project to international acclaim. After opening for the legendary Cyril Neville at Tipitina’s in 1991 and wowing him with their unbridled live performance, Cyril blessed them with the name “Soul Rebels” in honor of Bob Marley. The Soul Rebels carried that revolutionary spirit every step of the way, blending their masterful second-line brass band chops with elements of funk, soul, hip-hop, pop and rock, all the while receiving pushback from traditionalists who wouldn't accept their new sound. But over nearly three decades The Soul Rebels have kept pushing forward, bringing the music of their beloved hometown to huge audiences across the globe and collaborating with a list of artists unparalleled in its length and diversity, including Katy Perry, Nas, and Metallica. In the interview you’ll hear the guys reflect on some of those star-studded collaborations and what to expect from The Soul Rebels in 2021 and beyond.At the end of the episode you’ll hear The Soul Rebels perform a pumping set from New Orleans. You can see videos of this set and all other Past, Present, Future, Live! performances on our show page or on the Osiris Media YouTube Channel.  You'll find music from all the artists mentioned in this interview on our Past, Present, Future, Live!

This week’s Past, Present, Future, Live! features an intimate conversation and performance with Drew Holcomb, songwriter and frontman for Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors. Born and raised in Memphis, Drew built a committed following through years of touring a circuit of the South’s major cities, and watched the gigs grow larger with each return trip. In 2011, Drew and the band earned wider recognition when his song “Live Forever” was featured in multiple TV shows, breaking through and establishing Drew as one of the faces of the new Americana scene. Drew has a thoughtful and academic approach to music—he has a Masters in Theology where his thesis explored Bruce Springsteen—and this comes through in his music, which Drew describes as the place he found the sort of meaning others find through religion.   Drew just released a new live album, “Live at the Tennessee Theatre,” that captures highlights of a standout performance from their last tour before quarantine, in support of the 2019 album “Dragons.” The first song off of Dragons, “Family,” is an ode to how Drew’s own experience as one of 28 grandkids continues to define him as an artist and a father.   On this episode Drew discusses all of that and more, including his incredible relationship with his wife and longtime musical collaborator Ellie, and how he’s grown to appreciate managing the business side of his music. At the end of the episode, you’ll hear Drew play “American Beauty”, “Family”, and “Dragons”.

“I think the choices that we've made in terms of genre have really been bent towards leveling a playing field. Because at a certain point you realize the number of female artists you can listen to in the rock sphere, especially the classic rock sphere, are so limited...So I know that had to be a driving factor for us; wanting to prove people wrong, to do something that felt a little bit incongruous." --Rebecca Lovell Rebecca and Megan Lovell, the incredibly talented sisters behind Larkin Poe, join RJ to talk about their musical evolution, from their early years as classical violinists to discovering classic rock in their teens, to forming the band and producing their own albums. They discuss what it was like to play their first ‘plugged in show’ (terrifying) and tour with some of their musical heroes, and how they’re changing the status quo for women in music. At the end of the episode, you’ll hear them perform “Who Do You Love”, “She's A Self Made Man”, and “Holy Ghost Fire.” Larkin Poe’s latest release, Kindred Spirits, is available everywhere.  You'll find music from all the artists mentioned in this interview on the Past, Present, Future, Live!

I kind of go about my life and pick up all the things I like and then when the box becomes full, I combine all of those things in the box and make that my thing.” - Nicole AtkinsThroughout her career, Nicole Atkins’ musical approach has combined 50s-style crooning with psychedelia, soul, and 80’s punk, all of which help to create her truly unique sound.
