Adam Sullivan to Release CD in October

On Adam Sullivan's new CD ‘The Room is Spinning Faster,' the singer/songwriter/pianist delivers a range of original songs that are reminiscent of the ‘70s-era Billy Joel, or Todd Rundgren's ‘Hello It's Me.'

The album is a travelogue, consisting of songs written over the past two years in a variety of locations both in the U.S. (NYC, Nashville, Vermont, Virginia) and abroad (Ireland, The Netherlands, London, Iceland). Highlights include the dense ‘Rainy Morning in Amsterdam', complete with lush strings and operatic cries; the memorable ‘These Are the Thoughts', featuring doubled vocals and lyrics; the haunted ‘Come Down'; and ‘Nothing Like Being Alone,' which finds Sullivan questioning his sanity.

Available now digitally, and set for brick-and-mortar release via Dweeb Records in late October, the production reflects the album's pedigree: Produced by John Mark Painter (Ben Folds, Sixpence None The Richer), the album features Bobby Huff (Tim Finn, Julian Lennon) and Lindsay Jamieson (Ben Folds, Matt Kearney) on drums; JMP on bass, guitar and horns; and guest appearances by Matt Slocum (Sixpence None The Richer), Fleming McWilliams (Fleming and John), Pat Severs (Johnny Cash, Hank Williams Jr.) and The Love Sponge Strings (Ben Folds, Train, Indigo Girls).

Though some might favorably compare Sullivan to contemporary artists such as Ben Folds, he counts rock music of the 80's, Randy Newman and REM among his influences. Further setting him apart from the pack, Sullivan happens to have two Masters degrees, a PhD, and he teaches online courses in accounting, statistics and business.

He is known for his intense international touring schedule -- often performing over 100 concerts per year -- and the coming months are no exception. A series of U.S. dates are planned for Fall/Winter, and details will be announced soon.
