Sully Bright was born in the small town of Forest City near the mountains of North Carolina. Bonding over rock legends with his father (the Eagles are a favorite), music has been close to Sully Bright’s heart throughout his life. He began writing songs in high school, a pastime turned passion that shaped his life trajectory. Though he treasures his home, Sully Bright moved to Nashville to attend Belmont University in 2020. He is in his final year now at Belmont, where he studies songwriting and works as an intern with producer Lucas Morton. During his second year at Belmont, Bright became friends with John Pierson Smith, with whom he established the folk duo Spruce & Hollow. Spruce & Hollow released their first album earlier this year, and they actively play shows in Nashville and beyond. In the gaps between schoolwork, his partnership with Smith, and the rhythms of everyday life, Bright has been writing, recording and producing throughout his time at Belmont. This has led to the upcoming release of his debut album, “Darling, Wake Up.”
