After 23 years in the business, it is with great regret that we have had to change the name of the band due to legal and trademark implications.  The new name of the band is The SOUL BROTHERS Band.

As most of you will already know we were formerly known as the original STAX of SOUL and The Soul Review and over the years many bands around the country have tried to copy our show.  Even to this day there are still many other bands in existence that continue to perform under our old name.  We are even aware of agents who continue to actively promote such bands that continue to use our illegal former name and who continue to encroach on our territory.  One thing's for sure, just like us, they will all soon be forced to change their name.

Let one thing be known, we may have had to relinquish the name but we still remain the OFFICIAL and ORIGINAL, and thanks to your continued support we know without a shadow of a doubt that The SOUL BROTHERS Band will continue to flourish as one of the best performers in the business.  To that end we look forward to your continued support.

The following letter received from trademark lawyers outlines the reasons why we had to change the name.  Note that certain sections have been blanked out in order to protect our privacy.
