The Isley Brothers are coming home to Cincinnati.

The musical group, currently composed of brothers Ronald and Ernie Isley, will be headlining this year’s Cincy Soul Fest. The brothers were born in Lincoln Heights and lived in Blue Ash before moving to New York to pursue their musical career.

The brothers were recently awarded with streets in two New Jersey towns – Teaneck and Englewood – named in their honor.
