About Me

***FORMED in 2005 as a "new voice" for the ignored 35-and-over crowd who still love hard rock music, The John Sullivan Brigade is a musically diverse bunch of rockers that have created an atmosphere of power and professionalism throughout the New York City metro area and beyond.***THE founder/songwriter Sullivan, who developed into a vocalist/guitarist/pianist on the indie rock circuit since the mid-1990s, released the first untitled 10-song CD in the fall of 2005. Long-time rock fans will hear similarities to such rockers such as the Who, the Foo Fighters, Bruce Springsteen, the Clash, Pearl Jam and Ben Folds Five on the band's release.***BUT the band's second release, 'A Sound Opportunity For Your Last Music Purchase', will be officially out in January 2008 on CD. This 12-song project (co-produced with Doug Kwartler) expands their core sound, incorporating newer elements such as saxophone, pedal steel guitar, a string quartet, and mandolin into the mix.***SO come join the musical experience that is THE JOHN SULLIVAN BRIGADE. You will not be disappointed!
