JUST STAY LIVE - The Alexis P Suter Band with Garth Hudson

---

“Brings together two singular talents: Suter’s towering, gospel-rooted voice and the late Garth Hudson of The Band.”
James Sissler, Live For Live Music, February 25, 2026

“Powerful Brooklyn-born vocalist… a remarkable night of music… The magic of that night was impossible to ignore… The music itself reflects the band’s deep connection to American roots traditions… The album captures more than a performance; it captures a moment when tradition, community, and musical history collided in one room. A gospel-rooted singer from Brooklyn, a legendary member of The Band, and a tight-knit band that has spent decades playing together created something timeless… It’s the sound of a band locked in, a legend sitting in, and a moment in music that simply refused to stay in the past.”
Thomas Beck, Jam & Toast, March 15, 2026

“The recording offers a window into a moment when history, chemistry, and live improvisation converged. Released a year after Hudson’s passing, the Dolby Atmos mix honors his legacy and the communal power of live music.”
Lauren Leadingham, American Blues Scene, January 26, 2026

“Powerful… a transcendent performance… unforgettable evening.”
Grateful Web, March 17, 2026

“You owe it to yourself to see her live. Raised as a gospel singer in Brooklyn, NY, the band’s repertoire is a stirring blend of blues, soul, rock, and gospel, as this program attests… It should deservedly draw more attention to Suter, one of the most unique and earth-shaking vocalists, who continues to thrive today.”
Jim Hynes, Rock & Blues Muse, March 12, 2026

"A great live show."
- Tony Burke, Tales from the Woods (UK), February, 2026

“Capture[s] a beloved musical atmosphere, with tradition & spirit… The presence of Garth on piano & accordion is noticeable. If this is one of his last contributions, it’s a doozy… Alexis & her booming pipes are nuclear powered in a Koko Taylor/Big Mama Thornton tradition. But her savvy entertainment quotient is higher… Don’t settle for beer when you can get whiskey. This is music with spirits.”
John Apice, Americana Highways, March 17, 2026

“For 30 years Suter’s roaring vocals and endearing vibes have entranced listeners… Suter’s vocal acumen is unsurpassed and reminiscent of both Big Mama Thornton and Mavis Staples while remaining uniquely her own and ranging from gritty sensuality to a husky bellow. Big blues, gospel, and R & B cuts abound with several segments of jamming that illustrate the innate flexibility of her band. The group blends a touch of the blues, a dab of the church, and a dollop of New Orleans into their heady amalgam… The live recording, presented in both surround sound and ATMOS, immortalizes a joyful evening of shared song… Poignant.”
Stephen T. Lewis, Talk from the Rock Room, March 14, 2026
