Sullie Biography
Sullie weaves poignant tales of love, loss, and longing into his evocative songs, creating an emotional tapestry that resonates deeply with listeners. His music captures the essence of broken hearts while also serving as a potent vehicle for protest and social awareness.
Through his anti-war songs, Sullie promotes peace and unity in a world often fraught with conflict, urging listeners to reflect on the importance of harmony and understanding. Additionally, he addresses critical environmental issues and advocates for justice, making his work not only a personal exploration of human emotions but also a clarion call for positive change in society.
Emerging from a small town in the west of Ireland in the mid-80s, Sullie’s musical journey began with a dream of becoming the next U2. Armed with a beat-up acoustic guitar and a cardboard tube for percussion, he formed his first band, sharing an orange faux leather couch as a makeshift drum kit. From those humble beginnings, Sullie has dedicated his life to music, evolving as a solo artist, band member, and participant in vibrant Irish music sessions.
A talented multi-instrumentalist with a primary focus on guitar, Sullie's rich vocal abilities span various musical genres, from sensitive folk ballads to energetic punk rock. He also plays bass guitar, bouzouki, mandolin, banjo, and tin whistle, showcasing his versatility and passion for music.
Throughout his career, Sullie has shared the stage with notable artists, including the late Henry McCullough (famed for his work with the Joe Cocker Band and Wings) and Australian guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel. He has participated in Irish music sessions alongside some of Ireland’s most respected traditional and folk musicians, such as Johnny Moynihan, Clive Collins, and Vinnie Kilduff, as well as Australian artists like Shane Howard.
Sullie's studio work is equally impressive, having recorded at Temple Lane Studios in Dublin and in New York with three-time Emmy Award-winning composer Tom Spahn. In 2008, he penned “Tears of the Goddess” for the Save Tara protesters, participating in a collaborative effort with international artists and making an appearance on Balcony TV Dublin.
Since moving to Australia in 2012, Sullie has established himself in the vibrant music scene across Australia, founding the Kalgoorlie Traditional Music Session—a community group fostering Irish traditional and folk music in regional WA. Now based in Sydney, he is a well-respected figure within New South Wales’s folk community, having performed at renowned events such as the Sydney Folk Festival St Albans, Yass, Gulgong and Bundanoon Folks festivals over the years.
Sullie channels his creativity in his home studio, where he records and produces his music. With several self-released tracks already available and exciting releases planned for 2025, Sullie continues to captivate audiences with his heartfelt performances and socially conscious songwriting.
