| SULLY ERNA - AVALON LIVE The Wilbur Theatre: Boston, Mass. Quote: Salvatore Paul "Sully" Erna (born February 7, 1968), is an American vocalist and primary songwriter for the American metal band, Godsmack. Erna is also a guitarist and drummer, performing these both on albums and during live shows Sully began playing drums at the age of three. His father, Salvatore Erna, was a trumpet player and would rehearse in the basement where Sully would watch and fall asleep in an empty guitar case. His great grandfather was a famous composer in Sicily, where every year they honor his birthday and his pictures are hung in a museum.[citation needed] At the age of 11 he discovered that it was easier for him to listen to something and play it than read sheet music. He stopped taking lessons and practiced at home rehearsing to records by Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, Motörhead, and Rush. At 14, Dave Vose became his new instructor. He signed his first record deal in 1993 with a band called Strip Mind. Their debut album What's in Your Mouth sold fewer than 50,000 units. The band and Erna didn't get along, and he was booted out. They self-destructed shortly after. In Godsmack concerts he plays the bongos and a large drum set, staging a drumming duel known as Batalla de los Tambores with drummer Shannon Larkin. This battle has become a staple of the band's live show. He is also a harmonica player as present on the Godsmack song "Shine Down". It was recently announced that Sully will work on a solo record due out sometime in 2010, it will stray away from the hard rock of Godsmack. Sully wrapped up his acoustic tour with one final show at The House of Blues in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 28. On March 4, 2009, Blabbermouth.net reported that Erna had completed work on his first solo album, Avalon, released September 14, 2010. Although, the single Sinner's Prayer will be on radio stations and on sale everywhere August 3, 2010. The album includes Lisa Guyer on vocals, Tim Theriault on guitars and vocals, Chris Decato on keyboards, midi and vocals, Chris Lester on acoustic guitars and bass, classically trained Irina Chirkova of Bulgaria on Cello, Niall Gregory of Ireland Dead Can Dance on drums and percussion and David Stephanelli on drums and percussion.
Erna described the album as being "a very different kind of sounding record," and "a huge departure from anything I've ever done." In further describing the album's sound, Erna said that "it's very eclectic," and "tribal" with "a lot of hand drumming" and "beautiful piano compositions. Quote: Sully Erna Avalon Live - The Wilbur Theatre, Boston Mass (2012) is an incredible journey into a different musical side of Sully. If you are a Godsmack fan, do not expect this to be a similar or lighter version of Godsmack. Sully goes in a completely different musical direction. Lyrically, it seems that Sully digs deep into his personal life and many of these songs appear to be very personal to him. Additionally, Sully's voice is clear, clean, crisp, and powerful. You get to see Sully sing, play guitar, percussion, and piano. He is truly a versatile musician who is showing the world that he is still learning and maturing in his craft. Avalon Live is both visually and musically aesthetic. You will feel as if you are actually there in an intimate setting enjoying quality music. One aspect that I also appreciate is that you don't get the impression that this video is all about Sully and that he grabs all of the camera's attention. He treats this as a band and all band members get camera time. All the musicians on this video are excellent and prove their skills and abilities. This video is full of great music. For you Godsmack fans the song Serenity is included as well as cover versions of The Chain by Fleetwood Mack and Hey Jude by the Beatles. The power of music is amazing. *** TRACK LISTING: 1.
