Live Music at Westobou Central
The Suffers are a gulf coast soul band from Houston, Texas, bringing elements of classic American Soul and rock and roll to crowds that love to dance. There is a contagious and combustible energy every time the eight-piece wonder-band steps on the scene. "They're the sort of neo-retro group you never knew music was so badly missing."- Spin Magazine.
There is something undeniable about The Suffers (whose name is a reference to the 1978 Jamaican film Rockers starring Leroy "Horsemouth" Wallace, Jacob Miller and Burning Spear, among others), that instantly hits home with their audiences. "We make music for all people," says lead vocalist Kam Franklin. "At this point, we've played all over the world and one thing is certain - if the music is good, the people will enjoy it." Since 2011, the H-Town heroes have been on a steady grind and have no plans of stopping. It seems the secret to their success is simple. Keyboardist Patrick Kelly confides, "There is a universal groove in the music that we play," while bass guitarist Adam Castaneda adds, "I don't think any of us are trying to impress anyone with our technical abilities, we just want to make them dance."
