Acclaimed singer-songwriter and guitarist Quinn Sullivan has released ‘Salvation,’ his deeply personal and musically expansive new studio album, out today via Provogue/Mascot Label Group. Cementing his evolution as an artist, Quinn is celebrating the release with a lyric video for “Once Upon A Lie,” a breezy number that Quinn has called his favorite on the album. “I’ve had this song for 6 years but just never finished it until now,” Quinn shares. “Turn it up!”
Following the album’s previous single “Rise Up Children,” which invited listeners to connect through the universal language of music, “Once Upon A Lie” is the latest in a series of recent releases from Quinn that have showcased his deepening artistry and emotional range. On the deeply personal “Half My Heart,” Quinn delves into the profound pain of separation, capturing the sorrow of a romantic relationship that has recently ended. On “Dark Love,” he explores the complex dynamics of a toxic relationship. And on the album’s title track, “Salvation (Make Me Wanna Pray),” he uses B3 organ and wah-wah pedal to merge classic rock and soul with contemporary flair.
Quinn’s journey in music has been marked by a steady progression and a deepening of his artistic expression. Known for his exceptional guitar talent from a young age, Sullivan has earned acclaim for his performances and collaborations with some of the biggest names in music. His previous album, ‘Wide Awake,’ showcased his ability to blend his musical influences and skills in a way that pushed his creative boundaries. The album was well-received, highlighting Quinn’s capacity for storytelling and musical exploration.
Since ‘Wide Awake,’ Quinn has continued to evolve, taking his music on the road and gathering new experiences that inform his work. His recent involvement with the new ensemble Trouble No More, sanctioned by the Allman Brothers Band to carry on their live-performance legacy and introduce their music to a new generation, has further enriched his sonic palette. This collaboration infuses his work with a taste of the timeless soul and depth of classic rock.
Quinn is currently on a nationwide tour to support his new album, performing at various venues across the US, including intimate music rooms and the renowned City Winery locations. The release of ‘Salvation’ follows Quinn’s notable appearance at Panic en la Playa, where he performed with Trouble No More and guest starred with Eric Krasno and The Main Squeeze.
