A conversation with SulliSinger/songwriter and Lincoln County resident, John Sullivan — known around here locally as Sulli — sat down with host Mike Bagwell to record an episode for The LKN Experience podcast. In this episode Sulli, a Lake Norman-area fan favorite and local celebrity, talks with Mike about his his family, his musical beginnings, his experience on NBC’s The Voice earlier this year, and what inspired him to audition for the musical competition show.
John also talks about the beginning — how and when he began performing in Lincoln County. He calls out some of the local restaurants and breweries that have helped him create a loyal following around Lake Norman, and he expresses his sincere appreciation for everybody who has supported his music. He also shares about some of his interactions with his fellow contestants on The Voice, including, of course, his coach, Blake Shelton.
You can catch Sulli next on Saturday, July 31, for the Dog Island Jam. Follow Sulli on Instagram @John_Sullivan_Music to find out where and when he’ll be playing next.
Enjoy listening to this episode, and get to know a little about the incredibly down-to-earth and talented singer/songwriter Sulli.
