Bio & Quotes

In the short time since her graduation from Boston’s renowned Berklee College of Music, singer-songwriter Liz Longley has assembled quite an impressive resume for herself. While most known for her stop you in your tracks voice, Liz has quickly built a reputation as an accomplished songwriter, crafting intimately personal portraits through her music. Her ever-expanding fan base is not the only group to acknowledge Liz’s talent. In the past two years, Liz has taken home top prizes at some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition, the International Acoustic Music Awards and the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest.

Although she has frequently opened the show for established artists such as Mindy Smith, Nanci Griffith, Paula Cole, Livingston Taylor, Amos Lee, Shawn Colvin, Colin Hay and America, it is becoming clear that Liz is coming into her own as a performer. The Washington Post declared that she is “destined for a larger audience,” Dig Boston called her “a rising acoustic sensation” and even John Mayer is a fan, calling her music “gorgeous, simply gorgeous.” Most recently, executives at Sirius XM caught wind of Liz’s cover of Van Morrison’s hit “Moondance” and added it into regular rotation, along with her award-winning original song, “When You’ve Got Trouble.” They even invited her to perform live in their studios and named her one of their Coffee House Discoveries of 2011 - not too shabby for a recent college grad.

Liz may blush at the mention of her many accomplishments, but, if the last year is any indication, she better get used to it because there are no signs that the momentum is slowing anytime soon. A recent Nashville transplant, Liz is currently touring the country in support of her current album, Hot Loose Wire, and honing her songwriting even more with some of the best in the business.
