Welcome these relative newcomers, a 10-piece band fronted by a massive-voiced singer.

Relative newcomers, The Suffers will say that they are influenced just as much by classic rock ’n’ roll, country, Latin and southern hip-hop as they are by the Stax/Volt or Muscle Shoals era. Fresh out of Houston and fronted by the massive-voiced singer Kam Franklin, this 10-piece band’s incandescent show has earned them spots on David Letterman’s show, NPR’s Tiny Desk concert series, the Newport Folk Festival and the Austin City Limits Festival.
