What kind of music do you play?
Probably the most commonly asked question of Cullen DeChant and Rahsaan “Wordslave” Eldridge. The usual response is a rock-paper-scissors retort of “who’s turn is it?” between the co-founding members of Honest Lee Soul.
The band was formed in 2017 in Annapolis, MD, and has enjoyed success playing throughout the DMV area. With roots in soul, blues, funk, hip-hop, gospel, and rock, we are ever expanding our sound and reach.
We released our self-titled LP as Brother’s Keeper in 2018.
As time went on, the band’s sound expanded and we added Reggie Maddox on bass, Kirk Meyers on keys and Devin Brown on drums. Once that core band was formed, we released our first full-length album One Life in April, 2022.
In November 2023, HLS released our second full-length album, Testify with two singles, You and Testify being released earlier that year.
In addition to an eclectic sound, HLS is a versatile ensemble capable of performing as a duo for more intimate settings, or bringing a full band experience. Whatever the configuration, the goal is the same; Make ‘em feel something. Make ‘em move.
