"The nine-piece group includes some of San Diego’s best musicians and a special guest star on drums — Steve Ferrone — who should be familiar to anyone who saw Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers perform at the 2017 edition of KAABOO, barely a month before Petty’s sudden death. Ferrone was the Heartbreakers’ longtime drummer." - George Varga 9/14/2018 - San Diego Union
"Sully” is one of the hottest bands in Southern California...by a lot. - Artists Trove
"People can’t sit down when they hear the Grammy Award-winning members of Sully & the Blue-Eyed Soul Band. This is one good time group!" - North County Times
