Gulf Coast Soul at the Crystal
The Suffers are a Gulf Coast
soul band from Houston, Tex-
as who bring elements of classic
soul and rock to crowds that love
to dance, perform, Wednesday,
March 2 at the Crystal Ballroom,
downtown.
The group shakes up the notion
that they’re another soul revival
band by bringing a fresh approach
to what they have coined Gulf
Coast Soul. They have performed
on the Late Show with David Let-
terman, on NPR’s Tiny Desk, and
at the Austin City Limits Music
Festival.
The large ensemble packs each
position of the rhythm and horn
section as a perfect foundation for
singer Kam Franklin’s massive
voice. Their 2016 self-titled debut
album hit shelves this month.
