After 4 long years of hustling, New Orleans’ own self-proclaimed ambassadors of funk, The Soul Project, have released “The Long Hustle”, the follow-up album to their 2013 Offbeat Magazine’s “Best Of The Beat” nominated debut album, “Music For Movers & Shakers.” The release, the first on the Soul Universal Productions label, represents not only the last 4 years of hard work and constant playing, but the complete journey of the Soul Project from its inception in 2001 until the present. With some retooled tracks [like Celia, Down By The Riverside and What’s the Meter (With You)] that have finally been realized in their intended form, to brand new offerings (What We Got, BedBugs, Spotlight), compositions from saxophonist David Ludman (Blue Snail) and Jeremy Habegger (Gsus), and the band’s New Orleans-inspired cover of The Beatles’ “Blackbird”, this album has something for everybody.

“This record is filled with punchy horns, in-the-pocket drums, and tight guitar. When the band locks in...it will make you believe in the power of soul.”

David Kunian - Offbeat

The debut album for Soul Project NOLA was released on the Frenchmen St. Records label in 2013 and was nominated for Best R&B/Funk Album Of The Year at the Offbeat
