Bio:

..

I grew up listening to Joni Mitchell and Karla Bonnoff. My dad would drive me around in our noisy pea green Volkswagen buggy with the top rolled down and the music turned up so Joni Mitchell's 'Circle Game' was heard above the hum of the engine.

In high school, I was a marching band nerd. I played clarinet and in my senior year, I was a drum major. When I wasn't on the field, I was writing music (on piano & guitar) and playing shows. I was hooked on music.

I went on to study songwriting at Berklee College of Music for four years. It was there I learned how to write songs that meant something to me. Once I did that, I realized it was more about connecting to people than anything else.

Now I'm hooked on YOU! I'm addicted to playing shows because nothing thrills me more than relating to people through music. Your support means the world to me. Thanks for listening! Hope to see you at a show soon. :)

xx - Liz

Bio:

A hardworking young singer/songwriter with an impressive pedigree — graduate of Berklee College of Music, winner of the '10 Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriter Showcase, Grand Prize Winner of the International Acoustic Music Awards and co-winner of the 2009 Mountain Stage New Song Contest, among many other honors -- Liz Longley is particularly highly regarded for her personal, emotionally engaging songwriting.

Longley has already opened for the likes of Nanci Griffith and Shawn Colvin, but she took one of her highest-profile stages yet when she performed songs from her new album, Hot Loose Wire, at the Newport Folk Festival in Newport, R.I.
NPR Music covered Liz's set at the Newport Folk Fest. You can listen here.

One of the sweetest-sounding voices we’ve heard in a long time - Liz Longley delivered a captivating set and a double standing ovation."

Rob & Dave Dircks of Acoustic Long Island

"A world class singer... one of the best I've ever heard."
Livingston Taylor

"Her voice spun sugar over the setting sun... it is so much more than her ethereal voice.... Longley's songs swell with honesty and genuine emotion."
New Hampshire Telegraph

"I'm surprised a ribcage can hold so much heart."
Martin Mallet

"A rare find with phenomenal vocal ability, ton and performance. Longley's lyrics have the spark and spunk of Patty Griffin, her voice has the eloquence and mastery of Alison Krauss."
Taxi.com

"Longley delivers songs that stand out for their emotional honesty ….a lovely and powerful voice."
Morning Call

"With a voice as delicate yet strong as this, people listen to what you have to say."
