Liz Longley

A recent Berklee College of Music graduate, Liz Longley is already showing signs of becoming the next acoustic breakout artist. In 2010, Liz received first prize in the BMI John Lennon Scholarship competition, grand prize in the International Acoustic Music Award contest (among 9,000 entries) as well as the Chris Austin Songwriting Award. She also appeared at the Newport and Rocky Mountain folk festivals. In 2009, Liz garnered first place in the Rocky Mountain Folk Fest Songwriter Showcase, and was co-winner of the Mountain Stage NewSong Contest, among several other honors.

Liz is highly regarded for her personal, emotionally engaging songwriting. John Mayer has called her music "gorgeous… just gorgeous" and the Washington Post has said "This voice won't stay small (for) long." She is actively touring, selling out venues like Tupelo Music Hall in NH, Club Passim and the Shalin Liu Performance Center in MA, Chaplin's Music Café in PA, and Night Cat in MD. Liz has opened for Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, Nanci Griffith, Amos Lee, Colin Hay, Crowded House, Jesse Colin Young, Jonathan Edwards, Lori McKenna and Livingston Taylor. Listen (player is on lower-right of web site)
