Torn, Falls and Thunder (2023) captures Sean Michael Sullivan’s Americana and alternative-folk voice in a set of intimate, lyrically driven songs. Sullivan threads Iowa and Missouri landscapes through stories of resilience, heartbreak and the hush after a storm, foregrounding his candid struggle with mental health and recovery. Paul Perkins’ banjo provides gentle leads with Sean's steady acoustic guitar, leaving space for words that feel handwritten - plainspoken yet poetic. The arrangements stay uncluttered and close-mic’d, like a living-room session that happened to catch the right take. It’s a front-porch record at heart: reflective without dragging, tuneful without gloss - weathered, welcoming and unmistakably Sean Michael Sullivan.
