Charleston band Susto made their national television debut on “CBS This Morning: Saturday” in late January following the release of their critically acclaimed album “& I’m Fine Today”. This marked the start of a massive 38 city tour both headlining and in support of the Lumineers. That tour will bring them to First Avenue’s 7th Street Entry next Tuesday 2/7. Tickets are still available HERE
The five-piece band has made a name for themselves in recent years playing high profile festivals including Austin City Limits, Stagecoach and AmericanaFest along with opening slots with Shovels and Rope, Band of Horses, Iron & Wine, Shakey Graves, Langhorne Slim, Futurebirds and Heartless Bastards. This past fall, SUSTO performed a Facebook live-streamed session for NPR Music’s Night Owl series. You can check out the interview and performance HERE. Last week they performed live-streamed sessions with Rolling Stone and Paste.
& I’m Fine Today was recorded at The Space in Charleston, SC. Of the record, founder and frontman Justin Osborne says, “Something to take away from it is just understanding and appreciating when you’re not always fine. This album is about coming to terms with yourself and feeling okay with your place in the universe.”
SUSTO is comprised of Osborne (vocals, guitar), Dries Vandenberg (guitar), Marshall Hudson (drums), Jenna Desmond (bass) and Corey Campbell (guitar, keys). The band name derives from a medical syndrome specific to Latin American culture that roughly translates as “panic attack.”
