"Recording and playing in Nashville was on my bucket list so I hope this inspires others to realise it's never too late to chase your dream," Sullivan said.

Upon his return from the world's country music capital, the singer-songwriter will perform locally at Berry's Big Country Festival on May 11.

It follows the release of his debut album Belonging late last year.
