Nashville-based jam band ROOTS OF A REBELLION pride themselves on playing heavy reggae/rock/dub music for the soul. Known for their dynamic live shows showcasing their progressive sound and energy, the band once voted "Best Local Band" in Nashville Scene's reader's poll has announced their third album titled Shapes Of A Soul will be released on May 31, 2019. This marks the group's first studio album release since 2016's A Brother's Instinct, which debuted #4 on Billboard's Reggae album chart.

Shapes Of A Soul is available now for digital and physical pre-order: http://smarturl.it/shapesofasoul.

Fans get an early preview as the album's title track, "Shapes of a Soul," was released Friday, April 5; check out an exclusive acoustic performance video of the song shot at Castle Recording Studios here. The lead single, "One Thing," co-written with Chris Gelbuda, known for his work with Meghan Trainor, Robert Randolph, Billy Currington, will also be released ahead of the album, on May 3, as well as a corresponding music video.
