..Dan Sultan is an extraordinarily gifted musician. His debut album, Homemade Biscuits, a collaboration with guitarist and songwriter Scott Wilson, was released independently in 2006 to rave reviews. Their sound can be best described as a mix of blues, soul, rock and country. As a result of this diversity, the band have performed at a wide range of festivals including The Falls Festival, The East Coast Blues and Roots Festival, Port Fairy Folk Festival and Indigenous events across Australia .The now seven piece band have built up a solid reputation for their knock out live performances.
The much anticipated second album ‘Get Out While You Can‘ was recorded in Melbourne by Jonathan Burnside using a myriad of vintage equipment to achieve a supremely warm and genuine sound. Unlike the first album that was performed almost entirely by Dan and Scott, the new release finds an established band of great musicians in full swing.
The title track was inspired by a tale of a couple soon to be separated by war. Their lifeline, someone who these days would be referred to as a people smuggler. Themes range from drug addiction, prison and domestic violence to skydiving accidents and goddess worship, while musically leaping from big band soul to outback country and rockabilly and beyond.
Get Out While You Can ‘ has some special guest performers including Ella Hooper and the legendary Vika and Linda Bull. Dan Sultan and Scott Wilson are artists who make full strength albums that unashamedly cross boundaries and genres and take the listener on a memorable journey
Sultan’s career is about to explode thanks to collaborations, touring, festivals and a starring role in the upcoming feature film Bran Nue Dae, with a cast of stars including Geoffrey Rush, Missy Higgins and Jessica Mauboy. .
The album will be released Independently through MGM Distribution and will be in stores on November 6th 2009.
REVIEWS
Only moments into the first track of Homemade Biscuits and it easy to see why such recognition has flowed Sultan way- His powerful musical personality erupts"- Martin Jones Rythms Magazine 2006
The highlight of the entire weekend, however, was seeing the phenomenally talented Dan Sultan play live on three separate occasions. Dan, who is blessed with a voice like velvet, possesses a magnetic stage presence that demands the audience attention. Sunday evenings performance, accompanied by his six-piece band, would rank as one of the best gigs I have ever witnessed. It was almost as if the spirit of Elvis, Johnny Cash, James Brown and Sam Cooke were channeling through him as he brought maximum soul to the stage" -Review by Graham Blackley Beat Magazine Melbourne 4th April 2007
"Remember where you first heard Dan Sultan sing? You will. With a voice that is equal parts Archie Roach and Otis Redding, and hips that have been inherited from Elvis Presley, Sultan and band blew away all and sundry. Rarely does an important, outstanding talent introduce himself as impressively as Dan Sultan has"- By Chris Peken
"Scott Wilson's work with the soon-to-be-legendary Dan Sultan is superlative. Dan, who has the type of classic soulful vocal delivery guaranteed to ignite the goose-bumps, is a likeable, confident performer adept at building the vibe to fever pitch. The audience screamed and jived as Dan whipped out some funktastic dance moves, held his guitar like it was a weapon and rode the surging wave of joyous energy pumped out by the type of band James Brown would have been proud of" by Graham Blackley
