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 a brass band context. The band has built a career around an eclectic live show that harnesses the power of horns and drums in a deep pocket funk party-like atmosphere. The Soul Rebels continue to chart new territory as they combine topnotch musicianship with songs that celebrate dancing, life, funk and soul.

Basic donuts beware, Frodohs are some next level sweetness. One day, founder and UMD alumnus Simon Amato stumbled across his neighbor's box of frozen donuts while dog sitting and was intrigued by the texture and flavor of the ice-cold treats. He knew they could be so much more, so he hit the kitchen with nothing more than an idea and a sweet tooth, and left with the perfect recipe: a scrumptious donut center coated with a delicious glaze, rolled in a crumbly topping, chilled to frozen perfection. Damn.
