Red Bull's Sound Select Program Picks a Pair of Houston Winners

Page 2 of 2

Much like Fields and the Expressions, the Suffers genuinely enjoy what they do. Not only is their music heartfelt, funky and easy on the ears, it also possesses an authenticity that cannot be feigned. Vocalist Kam Franklin, the brass section, the percussionists and everyone involved bring their A-game every damn time with broad smiles broadcast across their faces.

I'm not sure how the "Sound Select" program works or how it looked in any other cities, but Friday night was clearly a success for all Houstonians involved. Here's hoping it translates into some success for these two local acts, both of whom are hometown favorites, because it clearly brought on a good time for everyone in attendance and onstage, including Little JB himself.
