On Saturday, December 26th, 50+ artists and hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world came together for Georgia Comes Alive, a virtual music festival aimed at promoting voter participation in Georgia’s critical Senate runoff elections on January 5th, 2021.

One of the many world-renowned acts to take part in the nine-hour livestream was the eclectic-sounding, Houston-based soul outfit The Suffers, who offered up a three-song performance of “Take Me To The Good Times”, “Do Whatever”, and “Make Some Room”.

For their GCA set, each member of the band joined in from their respective remote locations where each musician had their performance area decked out in colorful, holiday-inspired decor. Led by singer, HeadCount board member, and Georgia Comes Alive/Democracy Comes Alive guest speaker Kam Franklin, the band wasted no time in diving right into a high-energy rendition of their 2020 single “Take Me To The Good Times”. The uptempo funk tune bounced along with the right amount of confidence and attitude as Frankin helped ease the band into “Do Whatever” with a pre-song rap of “Do whatever, do whatever, do whatever y’all! It ain’t gotta be a weekend to find the joy that you are seeking. I know it might be hard to find joy these days, but it’s okay, we’re going to stick it together right now in this moment, we got this.”

The feel-good energy of “Do Whatever” kept rolling thanks to an impressive mid-song solo from trombonist Michael Razo. To close things out, the band charged into “Make Some Room”, a slower and more soulful original from the band’s 2016 self-titled studio effort.
