THE NEW ALBUM BY GRAMMY® WINNING ARTIST, LAURA SULLIVAN
Album Release Date: September 24, 2021

Before Laura Sullivan's parents passed on, they taught her an important lesson: Love knows no genres. 

​Laura's mother was her first Classical piano teacher, and her father taught her Country songs he played on his guitar and harmonica. In their memory, her new album Pieces of Forever merges her Contemporary Instrumental Classical Music with emotional Ambient Americana textures.

Laura grew up in a 100-year-old farmhouse at the foothills of Mount Lassen, in Northern California. At the time her family moved in, the old home was so rundown that the plumbing and electricity barely worked. They couldn’t watch TV unless everything else in the house was turned off, or the screen would shrink to half the size.
​
But there were so many more interesting things to do than watch TV, it didn't really matter that their electricity was not great. The eleven acres were a landscape to explore, filled with old broken-down cars, furniture, and ancient junk left behind from days long ago. A rusty clawfoot bathtub filled with muddy water sat in the front yard. Attached to it with duct tape was a hand-painted sign reading "Bard Bath." 
​
It was her parent's dream to own a farm, and this is what they could afford. Their vision was to transform it into a pleasant and comfortable homestead.
​
And that is what they did. Her family put in a lot of effort on the project for many years. Their work paid off and it became a nice working ranch with chickens, ducks, cows, horses, pigs, and a throng of feisty cats and friendly dogs. Next to our walnut orchard the family nurtured a huge garden of flowers and vegetables. They reached out to their friends to share the abundance, and formed a community garden.

But life on the farm wasn’t all about work. Laura's father drove his pick-up truck all the way from Weatherford Oklahoma to California to bring home a piano once owned by Laura's Great Grandmother, Etta who had taught all her six children how to play it.
​
Now, with Etta’s piano in their house, Laura's mother taught Laura how to play it too, starting when she was four years old. A few years later, Laura’s father began driving her all the miles into town each week so that she could have private piano lessons with the distinguished teacher, Ms. Winifred Laymon. They didn't have much money, but her parents continued that gift to her of piano lessons for all the years after until she left home for college.

Laura lost her mother many years ago from cancer. Her father passed away last summer during the bleak Covid-19 pandemic lockdown after a long struggle with Alzheimer's Disease. He still remembered how to play his favorite songs on the harmonica and the guitar even after most of his words had escaped him. 

"This album is about honoring the lives of my parents, the music they made, what they taught me, and their love. I sure hope my parents would like my new album and trusting they have already heard it. This comes with so much love." -Laura Sullivan

Laura's new album 'Pieces of Forever' merges her Contemporary Classical compositions, with flavors of Ambient Americana. Composed and arranged by Laura, who plays the piano on each track, and performs one song on the album while playing a harmonica that belonged to her Dad.
​
Produced by Eric Sullivan, other instrumentalists include Gawain Mathews (Guitar), Chloe Mendola (Cello), Liz Hanks (Cello), Bryan Daste (Pedal Steel Guitar), Charles Butler (Banjo), Adam Burney (Harmonica), Caroline McCaskey (Musical Saw), and Kristin Weber (Violin).

I never followed an official musical education—as a child I tried; but after two years, I was kind of traumatized by the linear and old-fashioned way of teaching and never thought I'd be able to play any instrument or sing.

From 2002 to 2006, I discovered playing the piano; and, in 2007, I started to take my autodidactic practice more seriously. Since then, I have practiced, performed, sung and played a lot, and attended several intensive workshops, all to discover new ways to express my personal sound. 

All the music performed during my piano concerts is self-composed and improvised in the moment. Every concert is different, although you'll recognize several melodies and musical passages as it is with improvisational jazz music. You'll also find several of the melodies and songs I worked with on the album "Into resonance". Though it's not at all my intention to imitate other musicians, I'll tell you this just to give you an idea: people often tell me that my piano music reminds them, at times, of music from musicians like Ludovico Einaudi, Eric Satie, Keith Jarret (improvisations), Craig Armstrong (piano works) or Michael Nyman (the piano).

And, since I also sing a lot and use several other instruments besides the piano, people tell me that my concerts take them along on a trip through several world cultures. What I'm often told is that people hear a lot of oriental, Arabic, Buddhist, Indian and native influences in my music. It's not my intention to consciously create these sounds; it just happens naturally. I'm just enjoying the moment and sharing music from my heart.

"Steven`s solo piano work reminds you to the work of Arvo Pärt and Wim Mertens..." (number one Belgian classical radio station Klara)

“Imagine silence itself were a musician, would it play the piano like Steven does? Well indeed, maybe it would . . ." (Alexander Wolfram, Belgian author)
