THE BUS

The Bus takes you on a gritty, pulse-pounding journey across the United States in the 1980s, following a young rock band on their first cross-country tour. Fueled by wild ambition, clashing personalities, and the thrill of rock 'n' roll, the band fights for survival, success, and self-discovery as they confront trials, temptation, and the tension between art and industry.

Through raw experiences in seedy clubs, neon-lit highways, and explosive on-stage moments, this book captures the energy of the era-and the dream that keeps them all moving forward. This isn't just a tour diary; it's an unfiltered look into the struggles, chaos, and creative fire that drive a young band to the edge and back. Readers get a backstage pass into an era where rock was raw, rebellious, and ruled by passion over profit. For anyone who's ever dreamed of the stage, wrestled with ambition, or just loves the spirit of rock, The Bus delivers a compelling escape into the thrill and turmoil of chasing big dreams. It's both an insider's look at the music world and a story of resilience, hunger, and identity that resonates far beyond the 1980s. John Sully Sullivan lived and breathed the music world-performing, touring, and capturing the stories of real-life bands who've made it and bands who've burned out, knowing the heartbreak, humor, and hard truths of that journey and bringing firsthand insight to this raw, electrifying story.
