The Sully Band

The Sully Band, voted Best Live Band at the San Diego Music Awards, is a 10-piece beast of a band, playing covers and originals at clubs, festivals and venues like Southern California’s legendary Belly Up Tavern and Austin’s illustrious Antone’s Nightclub. Fronted by San Diego radio & TV personality and financial expert, Robert “Sully” Sullivan and anchored by Grammy Award-winning slayer of the bass, James East (Eric Clapton, Elton John, Michael Jackson, and many others), The Sully Band is composed of seasoned, accomplished players who hail from diverse locales like Japan, Panama, and the island of Lemon Grove. The horn section features sax-flute-harp-man Tripp Sprague (Kenny Loggins, The Little River Band, Smokey Robinson, The Temptations, The Four Tops) and trumpet and flugelhorn player Steve Dillard (The Righteous Brothers and Lynyrd Skynyrd). Their very first single, “Best Damn Fool,” garnered critical acclaim after its release at KAABOO Del Mar (Sept 2018) and their debut album, Let’s Straighten It Out! was released on March 11, 2022, via Belly Up Records, and marketed and distributed by Blue Élan Records, and hit #3 on the Billboard Blue Album chart in its first week.
