"Losing My Brotherhood" Available Now

Thu, 24 May 2012 17:18:00 -0400

Hello—

I just wanted to say I hope you enjoy this little book of mine. I really enjoyed the whole process of writing it, and it’s a bizarre and lovely feeling holding it in my hands.

As you may know, it took about 6 months of organizing, editing and sweat and tears for it to be ready, but it’s been worth it. I really would like to thank Sharon and Stuart for being so heavily involved and for showing it some love and care, and also my friend Ben who did the amazing drawings and the great cover photo is by William Waldron. Like every creative project, you’re so reliant on your team of people so without all of them this wouldn’t have happened or been a bunch of notes on the toilet wall or something to that extreme.

Thank you so much for your constant support of me, and I hope to see you all at a show coming up when my new album is released very soon.

Take Care,

Bobby

About

Mon, 31 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0400

“British singer-songwriter-guitarist Bobby Long’s anticipated debut studio album ‘A WINTER TALE’, produced by Liam Watson (White Stripes) will be released February 1st, 2011 on ATO Records. Currently residing in New York City, the 24-year old Long has been writing finely-crafted songs since taking up the guitar at age 17; from then on he’s been creating memorable songs inhabited by hauntingly poetic lyrics. After relocating to London from the countryside of South West England, he became a fixture at London’s open-mic nights while attending London Metropolitan University where he studied Music in Film and wrote his thesis on The Social Impact of American Folk Music. He quickly established himself on the local open mic circuit, finding his voice and beginning to develop songs characterized by catchy melodies paired with elusive, imaginative lyrics.

In London he met a circle of fellow musicians, among them Marcus Foster, with whom he wrote a song called “Let Me Sign,” and soon-to-be megastar Robert Pattinson, who would sing it in the 2008 blockbuster film Twilight. It is Bobby Long’s intensely personal songs, vocal prowess, and heart-wrenching soulfulness that resonate with audiences on both sides of the Atlantic, creating a loyal following through constant touring over the past two years. In 2009, Long played 160 shows in seven months in seven countries.

A WINTER TALE merges band power with acoustic rawness, featuring Nona Hendryx (LaBelle) on backing vocals on “Penance Fire Blues,” B. J. Cole (Elton John, Sting) on pedal steel, Icelandic singer Lay Low on several tracks, and other top-drawer musicians. And by way of continued extensive touring, he will be bringing A WINTER TALE and what has been called his “tapestry of tales” to the ever-growing audiences seduced by his compelling voice, musicianship and charm.”

The Backing Singer EP now available on tour exclusively at shows!

Tue, 04 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0400

Featuring five brand new songs
She Wears Green
The Backing Singer
These Boats
The River is Long
Where You Lay

The limited edition EP, available exclusively at shows, was recorded in a New York City church with producer Jesse Lauter (Low Anthem) and features guest vocals by The Secret Sisters, Cat Pierce (The Pierces) and singer/songwriter Dawn Landes. Of making the new EP, Long comments, “I had these songs I wanted to get out there. I also had a month off the road in between touring for A Winter Tale. Jesse knew the church on East 50th Street and we recorded it live in one afternoon. All of the songs are first or second takes. I was able to have some of my friends lean in (violinist Jack Dawson) and lend their beautiful voices to the project - The Secret Sisters, Trouble Over Tokyo, Cat Pierce from The Pierces and Dawn Landes. They all did an incredible job of both striking their personalities and lending goodwill and time.”
