The Suffers
David Lam Park Jazz Weekend
“The sort of neo-retro group you never knew music was so badly missing” (Spin Magazine). Eight-piece wonderband The Suffers are a fired-up, contemporary version of the great R&B/funk bands of ’70s and ‘80s like Earth, Wind & Fire, Rufus, and Kool & The Gang. Coming in hot out of Houston, Texas, The Suffers pack elements of reggae, jazz, salsa, rock, and hip hop into their trademark Gulf Coast soul. Brimming with contagious grooves, combustible energy, and Kam Franklin’s powerhouse voice, this is “soul, straight from horn to heart” (NPR).
