I'M BARRED AGAIN | Stuart Joel Nuggett & Kevin Sullivan | “I’m Barred Again” is a lively drinking song with an important message: enjoy the fun, but know when to stop. Written by Kevin Sullivan’s son, KJ Sullivan, alongside Indigenous singer-songwriter Stuart Joel Nuggett, the track highlights the consequences of excess and the impact of alcohol on mental health. KJ, who has performed across Australia, wrote the song as a reflection on the challenges of growing up and learning from life’s mistakes. | | The song tells the story of a man who finds himself banned from every bar in town, alienated from his friends and girlfriend, and sleeping outside with his dog. Despite his spiralling situation, he refuses to acknowledge the damage he's causing. It’s a fun, catchy tune with a cautionary undertone, urging listeners to reflect on their actions before it's too late. | | Recorded with ARIA award-winning producer Matt Fell at Wilder Tasmania studios, “I’m Barred Again” features Kevin and Stuart as a duet, with KJ contributing lead guitar and harmonies. The song has a uniquely Australian vibe, blending country with a touch of Toby Keith-style energy. Set to be the first single from Kevin Sullivan’s upcoming third album (due April 2026), “I’m Barred Again” marks the return of Kevin and The Sulli-Vans after a challenging 2025. The new album will follow the success of Kevin’s previous release, Threeways, which hit number one on the ARIA Australian Country Song Charts in 2024. |
