Steve Sullivan and the Factory

Steve Sullivan was born in New Mexico in a wasteland railroad town on the dried up banks of the Rio Grande River. With the ghost of Billy The Kid hanging in the desert air, Sullivan started playing guitar, writing songs and recording at age twelve. To this day he has released five solo albums (available on iTunes). In 2010 he released the Steve Sullivan and the Factory debut, Last Night.

Their latest studio releases - two full-length CDs titled I Did a Bad Thing and Love Is a Hit Parade - both hit the street on December 23, 2011.

On I Did a Bad Thing backup vocalist Holly Ann Latcham sings the sultry title track: it tells the dark story of a romance gone bad. Other highlights include “Just Wanna Be With My Girl” or “Tell Me”, both inspired by 1950s upbeat R&B. Love is a Hit Parade is more rocking overall, but with a stomping Motown rhythm section (Matt Blake on bass/upright, Jason Sweet on drums, Bill Hart on keys). Adding to the band’s allure, both CDs feature the sound of Trumpet Goddess Jessica Lynn Gates. Front man Sullivan himself can't help but sing and play with his entire soul. His remarkable - and versatile - voice is reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen or Tom Waits, as he sings his songs about love, life, music and family.

For a memorable night out, go see Steve Sullivan and the Factory at one of their energy-filled live shows.
