The Suffers are a ten-piece band from Houston, Texas, who are redefining the sound of Gulf Coast soulby intertwining elements of classic American soul music with rock and roll. Both sonically and visually arresting, the large ensemble packs each position of the rhythm section and horn section with a level of talent and taste that provides the perfect foundation for singer Kam Franklin's massive voice. The band's sincerity and emotion are laid bare in their music, which has garnered an audience so broad and varied that, they confidently assert, they "may prove to be the panacea for a jaded and stratified live music scene." The Suffers come to Michigan with their debut album, "Make Some Room." Says Entertainment Weekly: “With its buttery horn arrangements, funky guitar licks, and lead singer Kam Franklin’s bubbly vocals, ‘Make Some Room’… sounds like it stepped straight out of the ’70s soul-pop movement that produced Honey Cone.”
