Having roots in the heart of the south, Elizabeth Long, or Lizzy as her friends and fans know her was born on January 19, 1984 and raised on a farm in Lincolnton, Georgia. Her father owned a logging company while her mother worked as a paramedic. Lizzy attended Lincoln County High and was active in a myriad of endeavors including photo editing for the yearbook, tennis, and “all kinds of stuff” as she puts it. Her favorite academic subject was history, and her favorite activities are playing chess, riding horses, and, of course…….computer games. She began her music accomplishment at an early age and her interests are very eclectic ranging from Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn to the Earl Scruggs Revue to Fleetwood Mac. While starting out on the piano, Lizzy soon took up the fiddle, guitar, autoharp, bass banjo, and mandolin, and has become an accomplished musician, alternating between these instruments as part of her entertainment repertoire. Continuing her quest for success, Lizzy’s post-secondary education is from Glenville State College with an Associate Degree in Business Law (2004) accompanied by musical orchestration and arranging from Belmont University (2005). Lizzy finds that singing helps to express her thoughts and emotions—whether happy, sad, disappointed or angry—and, in her own words, “I don’t have to answer why, why not or even when….I can let it just flow”, and her extraordinary voice shimmers with strains of America’s musical roots.
