This guitar slinger may be young, but he’s a giant in the world of blues. Since appearing onstage with Buddy Guy as a fresh-faced eight-year-old with a talent for pulling notes from the guitar, Sullivan built himself a reputation amongst the blues cognoscenti. He's appeared onstage with the likes of Eric Clapton, Los Lobos, Tedeschi Trucks, and Joe Bonamassa. Come and see why Buddy Guy proclaims, “players like Quinn come along once in a lifetime.”
