...Sullivan’s voice keeps me engaged. I can only imagine this would get a few hearts fluttering and toes tingling in a person who appreciates country more than I, or has a vast collection of what they call ‘alt-country’ to their friends at the coffee shop. Sullivan’s voice is radiant, and the music, despite its twang and rustic homeliness, ain’t too bad either. “All This Time” is worth a gamble, I’d say. — LGLP

Bio
Amy Sullivan emerged on the D.C. music scene in 2004 singing with singer/songwriter Ben Hulan. In early 2006 Ben moved to California and opened up room for Amy to find her own voice as a singer/songwriter.
Amys debut record All This Time was released in July 2007. Recorded and produced by Kevin Gutierrez at Assembly Line Studios in Vienna, Virginia, All This Time is a collection of lyrically driven, original alt. country songs. Amy solicited the help of many of her musical friends to bring their talent to her music. Some of the featured musicians playing on All This Time: Shane Hines, Andy Zipf, Kevin Gutierrez, Loston Harris, Kevin MacIntire, Ann Marie Calhoun, and Fletch Wiley.
In 2007, Amy's song 'What Should Have Been' was awarded an honorable mention in the Mid-Atlantic Songwriting Contest. 'If I Must Fade' was placed in the award-winning indie film Sons of Virginia. Her album All This Time was nomintated for 'Best Country Recording' by the Washington Area Music Association.
2009 was an exciting year for Amy with numerous contest accolades including finalist in the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, finalist in the Cayamo/CIYH video contest, two awards in the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest and two Wammie nominations for best female country vocalist and best country band.
Amy Joleene Sullivan and the Whiskey Darlings hit the studio as well and are releasing their first EP Come and Gone Again in early 2010.
