Kevin Sullivan has packed a lot into the last six years with the major switch from Police Forensic Crime Scene Investigator to award winning country music singer. Most recently Kevin appeared along with his singing children, The Sulli-Vans on Channel 7’s, The Voice: Generations.

The exciting evolution of the NSW South Coast singer/songwriter with his music and sound is Evidenced by his 20/21/22 Australian SULLI-VAN tour, where despite the Covid pandemic, Kevin took his family on the road and performed over 200 shows, travelling over 120,000 kilometres.

Kevin enchants audiences with his tone, soulfulness, stories and sound, where the storyteller will engage you from the very first note. In Kevin’s music you’ll hear influences of Paul Kelly, Bruce Springsteen, Johnny Cash, Leonard Cohen and yet he has a style and sound all his own, that connects with your heart and spirit.

In November 2020 Kevin Sullivan received a sponsorship from Sunland Off Road Caravans, who designed and built a family caravan aptly named the ‘Sulli-Van’. Kevin Sullivan inspired audiences as he took his music from casinos and pubs, to roadhouses, caravan parks and house concerts. With shows from Cape York to The Kimberleys and at iconic festivals such as The Man From Snowy River Bush Festival in Corryong, Victoria and the Drovers Camp Festival in Camooweal, Mt Isa, Queensland to The Nambung Country Music Festival, where the family band received a standing ovation from over 2000 people.
