MUSIC
Rory Sullivan is a singer/songwriter living in Chicago. He is the real deal. ThornyBleeder writes, “Rory Sullivan has an effortlessly smooth and comforting voice, backed by the natural warmth of a finger picked acoustic steel string, steeped in the swampy roots of where traditional Americana mixes with contemporary.” Check out his album “Here All Along” and his single “Better Now”.
