Chad Sullins and The Last Call Coalition

Chad’s beginning stages in music is a pretty common story replete with all the hard knocks and due paying that it requires to get your foot in the door at music venues. What is not common is his unique take on the cards he was dealt in life and the raw and sometimes irreverent way that he communicates his experiences lyrically. Much like the best and most influential artists to ever lay pen to paper, Chad makes no apologies for his sobering assessment of things be it a raucous glass raising anthem or a razor sharp ballad about loving with a wounded heart. Chad met Josh Rutz (lead guitar), Jerry Stanley (bass) and Jeremy Clark (drums) who form the Last Call Coalition during his early days in Stillwater and in 2008 set out to make their presence known on the live scene. A rock band that plays country music calls to mind the victorious days of Cross Canadian Ragweed, and similarly, Chad Sullins and the Last Call Coalition have been hard pressed to find a permanent home on the radio airwaves over the years, yet that has in no way impeded on their live show reputation that has taken precedence over everything else. They have shared stages with a diverse line of artists including the Turnpike Troubadours, Micky and the Motor Cars, Cody Canada & The Departed, Jason Boland and The Stragglers, Mike McClure, No Justice, Stoney LaRue, Wade Bowen, the Eli Young Band and Gretchen Wilson. They have released two records including their debut album UPHILL BATTLE and an acoustic EP titled WHAT’S LEFT OF ME, the title track from which won the “Texas Toss Up Challenge” on 95.9 The Ranch radio out of Ft. Worth Texas. Both the perfect warm to their next incarnation.
