Quinn Sullivan: Salvation Live Tour

City Winery New York Presents Quinn Sullivan: Salvation Live Tour in concert on June 30th at 7:30pm

Twenty four-year-old Quinn Sullivan came to prominence as a young guitar virtuoso who, after a chance encounter with Buddy Guy at the age of 8, would go on to become a buzzed-about blues phenom. 

When it came time to write and record his fifth album, Salvation, the singer-songwriter-guitarist was processing the sudden passing of his mother. The resulting 11-track album is his most personal. Salvation honors Quinn’s roots in blues while forging his path forward as an emotive and engaging singer-songwriter. He’s integrated his exceptional guitar talent into hooky song craft, in the spirit of artists such as Marcus King, Gary Clark Jr., the Tedeschi Trucks Band, and John Mayer.

Salvation bursts open with a burly Jimi Hendrix-style groove on the title track, and then swaggers through a bevy of bluesy indie-rock, singer-songwriter rock, funk, blue-eyed soul, and Beatles-esque balladry. 

Over the years, Quinn has performed at prestigious venues like MSG and the Hollywood Bowl, and appeared on national TV programs like CBS Sunday Morning, Late Night, Ellen, Oprah, and more. He has gone toe to toe with guitar greats such as Buddy Guy, Carlos Santana, and BB King, who entrusted him with playing his beloved “Lucille” guitar.
