Stacy Sullivan is a renowned vocalist who has performed in iconic venues globally, including The Crazy Coqs in London, The Cafe Carlyle in New York, and the Cinegrill in Hollywood. Her six albums, featuring her latest "Stranger in a Dream" and "It's a Good Day: A Tribute to Miss Peggy Lee", are regularly aired on The Jonathon Channel, Seriously Sinatra, and national radio stations.
Theatrical performances include "Christine" in the Yeston/Kopit "Phantom" (Los Angeles Premiere),"Rosebud" in "The Mystery of Edwin Drood" (West Coast Premiere, with George Rose and Karen Morrow),and Toby Bluth's "Babes in Toyland" (World Premiere, with Robert Morse). Live performances include Cabaret Conventions in New York and San Francisco, the Pasadena Pops Orchestra w/John Raitt, The Knoxville Symphony w/Lucas Richman, and Lyrics and Lyricists at the 92nd Street Y in Manhattan.
Born in Oklahoma, the seventh of eight children in a wildly musical family, Sullivan began performing at the age of five. She graduated Cum Laude from Tulsa University with a degree in Music and left home to pursue her musical and acting dreams in Los Angeles.
Sullivan has appeared in numerous film, commercial, and television projects in Hollywood, including creating the role of Sissel Jorgensen on the award-winning series, Christy, starring Tyne Daly. However, her career took a backseat to raising children for many years, leading her to keep her musical drive alive by recording five critically acclaimed albums.
Her move to New York in 2012 marked a new era of creative growth, culminating in the creation of "It's a Good Day-A Tribute to Miss Peggy Lee", the live show and recording that would change her life. Stephen Holden, of The New York Times, has referred to her performances as "Spellbinding", "Darkly Sultry", and "Compelling". Clive Davis of The Times (London) wrote, "A commanding, willowy presence, Sullivan captures that rare combination of vulnerability and worldliness".
Sullivan has also written and performed the show "On the Air" for Piano Jazz creator, Marian McPartland, which caught the eye of legendary radio personality and music connoisseur Jonathan Schwartz. The show was presented at WNYC's "The Greene Space" and later at The York Theatre in Manhattan, resulting in the recording "Stranger in a Dream". The Wall Street Journal called it "Cabaret for Thinking People", and The New York Times raved, "Sullivan transports you to a twilight zone of wistful reflection that recalls the dreamier side of Peggy Lee".
Sullivan's other notable works include "Since You've Asked", a meteorologically themed family history spanning several decades, described by The New York Times as "Thrilling", "Audacious", "Spellbinding", and "Stretching cabaret into previously unexplored territory". With "A Night at the Troubadour", she pays tribute to Elton John and David Ackles, two of her heroes who met and performed at the legendary rock and roll club on the fateful night of John's North American debut on August 25th, 1970.
In addition, Sullivan has collaborated with Todd Murray to create "Separate Ways", a thought-provoking, sometimes humorous, and always musically entertaining look at the human quandary of "should I stay or should I go?". Her holiday offering, "Home for the Holidays", weaves a musical tapestry of traditional fare and contemporary selections.
Sullivan has received numerous awards, including The MAC Award (2015) for "Major Artist", The Nightlife Award (2014) for "Best Female Vocalist", The Bistro Award, and The Lamott/Friedman Award for "Best Recording" (It's a Good Day-A Tribute to Miss Peggy Lee).
