The Sulli-Vans

Whilst the last few years have been challenging they’ve also been a blessing for former forensic police crime scene investigator Kevin Sullivan and his performing, travelling family, The Sulli-Vans.

Kevin, his wife/road manager Belinda and their three young children son KJ (11 now 14), daughter Cha-Cha (9 now 12) and son Jet (5 now 8) hit the road in November 2020. They’ve since travelled over 170,000 kms and performed over 270 shows across Australia AND performed on national television, auditioning for the inaugural The Voice: Generations.

Whilst the chairs didn’t turn, the family loved performing for the judges and studio/national audiences. The Sulli-Vans continue to be overwhelmed by the love and support they receive from old and new fans alike. An untelevised highlight from the audition was the performance of Kevin’s original track, ‘Outback Australia’ requested by country music super-star judge Keith Urban.

“What you have just showed us right there, is the epitome of what this show is about, your beautiful Australian family spirit was so present and gorgeous!” Keith Urban – The Voice: Generations

When The Sulli-Vans set off on tour, they did so in style… in the purpose-built, sponsored Sunland Off Road Caravans family vehicle aptly named the ‘Sulli-Van’. As the kids initially started singing with dad at their local church in Gerringong NSW and made their stage debut at the Tamworth Country Music Festival in January 2020; the natural progression of performing every night on tour wasn’t a surprise to anyone.

The ‘Sulli-Van Tour’ started in Queensland, and they have since taken their music to communities and towns across New South Wales, South Australia, Victoria, Northern Territory & Western Australia. From casinos to roadhouses to caravan parks and house concerts they’ve performed in Cape York, 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 and most recently the Nambung Country Music Muster (Western Australia) where they received a standing ovation from over 2000 people.

Whilst on the ‘Sulli-Van Tour’, the children undertook Distance Education, and all agreed there was more work than their regular schooling. The Sulli-Vans have since returned home but not for long as they resume tour life once again, and continuing to tour across NSW, SA and VIC performing at Festivals and ticketed shows.

The travelling family continue to wow audiences, following the much anticipated release in 2022 of  “The Sulli-Vans” album featuring unique versions of the songs they perform on tour including much-loved Australian classics, country music and contemporary hits; Some of the highlights from the 14-track album include: ‘Down Under’ (Men At Work), ‘Coat Of Many Colours’ (Dolly Parton), ‘Sounds Of Then (This Is Australia)’ (Gang Gajang) and ‘The Two Of Us’ (Birds Of Tokyo). “The Sulli-Vans” album was added to the family’s schedule after they were inundated with requests for recorded music after each live show.

In January 2024, The Sulli-Vans will again join Kevin onstage during Tamworth Country Music Festival at Blazes Wests to launch their next 14 track covers album The Sulli-Vans Vol.2, along with singing and dancing to his latest original line dancing sensation single The Stroll and new tracks from his forthcoming album. In April they will be returning by popular demand to The Man From Snowy River Festival, Corryong Vic performing in front of over 3500 people at the re-enactment, before continuing on their Sulli-Van Tour across VIC, SA, NSW, QLD for the rest of the year.

The Sulli-Vans will be supporting their dad Kevin as he tours and launches his second solo album “Three Ways” which will feature The Sulli-Vans, along with a children’s album which will feature a re-recorded version of his award-winning single ‘Outback Australia’ featuring the now famous, family harmonies – due for release May 2024.
