The Suffers

Founded in 2011, The Suffers built a devoted local following in Houston before breaking out internationally with their 2015 debut EP, Make Some Room, which helped land them performances everywhere from Letterman to NPR’s Tiny Desk. The band followed it up in 2016 with a self-titled full-length album that yielded similar acclaim, along with star-making performances at the Newport Folk Festival and on The Daily Show. By the time the group released their 2018 sophomore effort, Everything Here, their arrival as critical and festival favorites was undeniable, with NPR praising the “multidimensional, multicultural possibilities of their take on soul,” and The Guardian hailing their “adventurous” blend of 70s R&B, disco, jazz, and contemporary gospel. Rolling Stone proclaimed it “an inspired vision of roots music.”
