Maura Sullivan

Out Of The Blue

Maura was a professional folk and blues singer for many years. She says she sings “in the key of basement”. She recorded a couple of her own albums as well as having opened for many well-known artists such as Joan Rivers, John Denver, and Loretta Lynn to name a few. No longer doing live performances but hounded by fans who wanted to hear her voice again, she has re-released her first album “Out of the Blue” on CD, and it includes 2 additional never released songs.

What People are Saying

“one of the best debut albums ever released”

“Sullivan, “…” is a Virginian who sings bluesy country music in a voice that sometimes has the tremulous intensity of Edith Piaf. Right, that is a strange combination, but out of it Sullivan produces a sound that is both distinctive and ingratiating. [she] makes songs mean something as well as sound terrific.”

“wonderfully distinctive yet flexible voice”

“Say what you will about the current state of country music, there are still those commercially groomed Nashville tracks that can grab you by the ears. When they pop up on the radio, you listen, without guilt. Maura Sullivan’s debut album, “Out of the Blue,” is packed with such songs. “
