The Freedom Affair is timeless soul music for the spirit and dancefloor. With an explosive live show, they fit into a juke joint on Saturday night just as easily as a church on Sunday morning. Fronted by three awe-inspiring singers (Paula Saunders, Shon Ruffin, and Seyko Groves), they make deeply funky message-music rooted in peace, love, and unity that touches souls and activates dancefloors.
“They sing of unity, harmony, and love. Powerful harmonies (that are equally powerful on their own) come together to make beautiful music as the six-piece flexes their musical chops to keep this perfectly timed and tuned machine called The Freedom Affair running.” - FLEA MARKET FUNK
“… classic soul sounds. The Freedom Affair are here to bring a little sunshine into what’s become a particularly divisive and at times, dark election season.” - Matt Matasci, MXDWN
“…a superb foot tapping come head nodding musical outage. The band have been tagged as ‘Politically charged soul music for the dancefloor!’ which is an excellent summary.” – Damian Sullivan, MAXIMUM VOLUME MUSIC
“The vibe is very early '70s soul flirting with both gospel and a few psychedelic R&B touches, and their choir of voices should appeal to both the dusty soul junkie and the choral aficionado who deeply appreciates group singing.” - TANKBOY
“I’m confident we’ll all be hearing a lot more about the Kansas City-based soul ensemble The Freedom Affair very soon.“ - SOUL AND JAZZ AND FUNK
