The Suffers

Thank you United Airlines and equal if not bigger thanks to my son, BC, lead singer of the now retired Houston based band Taste of Garlic. You remember them? Often played Fitz.

There’s never a right time to chase your dreams, she said to the Asbury Park audience on this 4/20 evening.

That was the moment I became solidly certain that I really, really liked this lady and wished that she could be my best friend and/or energetic and wise mentor in life.

Franklin wished the audience a good day before getting into their track of the same name. The positive atmosphere and ska feel ensured the crowd would be feeling it. The band likes to describe their style as gulf coast soul, where they throw in a little bit of jazz and some reggae for good measure.

Lead vocalist Kam Franklin said they never expected to be accepted in Dallas, on account of the band being from Houston, but those fears were unfounded.

They’ve played SF 3 times over the past year, with the size of the venue increasingly mirroring the band’s growing popularity.
