The Freedom Affair is a female-fronted juggernaut inspired by the traditions of soul music’s past with an enduring message that looks toward the future. They’re a warm hug for your soul. Three dynamic, awe-inspiring singers – Seyko Groves, Paula Saunders, and Shon Ruffin – share lead and background vocal duties, blending refined harmonies while backed by an airtight band that meets every musical moment with taste, precision, and a deep pocket.

Riding the success of their debut album, Freedom is Love, with multiple sync placements highlighted by an Apple iWatch ad, the band has an arsenal of new music conceived in the wake of the Covid pandemic. A string of 4 stand-alone singles recorded straight to tape in their Kansas City studio prelude their sophomore self-titled album to be released in early 2025. Each single with a different sound and theme, they highlight the band’s range and proficient songwriting prowess. The singles are a perfect course between their first and second full length offerings that reintroduce fans to the majesty this collective of musicians produces.

Their live shows have proven to be soul-stirring, transformative events moving audiences physically and emotionally through joy, tears, and elation. Crowds rave about the fireworks this group brings to the stage, and the band is poised to continue bringing their brand of soul to new crowds across the world. This band is soul dynamite.
