British singer-songwriter Bobby Long has scheduled a series of shows through to the end of the year as plans are being finalized for the release of his fourth album. Kicking off the run of shows will be his Official Showcase at the annual AmericanaFest in Nashville on Thursday, September 13 at the City Winery.

The new album of original material was recorded in New York over the past year and was funded by his second successful PledgeMusic campaign. Collaborating with New York-based musician Jack Dawson, with whom he worked on his 2011 EP, 

THE BACKING SINGER, the new album promises to comprise a diverse collection of styles and songs. "I think it's the best thing I've done, but then again, I always feel like the new one is the best one I've ever done. It is a lot more psychedelic than my previous records and influenced by The Beach Boys, The Beatles and ELO," he explains. 

The Bobby Long catalogue to date includes three full CDs--the most recent of which is ODE THINKING from Compass Records--and an EP as well as two collections of poetry: Losing My Brotherhood, published in 2012, and Losing My Misery, published in 2016. Known for his hauntingly poetic lyrics, writing poetry is a natural sidebar to his songwriting. Losing My Misery, infused with candor, raw emotion and his signature wry humor, is at once brash, funny and heartbreaking, exposing the writer's foibles as well as his poignant insights into the human condition. 

When it comes to writing, he makes it clear that he needs to work at songwriting and poetry as separate crafts, but, he says, "I feel like a better songwriter after I write poetry."

Bobby Long was born in Wigan near Manchester, grew up in Wiltshire, and, at eighteen, moved to London. Years later, in 2008, one of the songs he wrote on made its way onto the “Twilight” soundtrack. A year later, Bobby moved to the United States and his career has taken off ever since. Bobby Long recorded with ATO records, toured with bands such as Iron and Wine, and performed at festivals, such as Bonnaroo and Austin City Limits. He moved over to Compass Records for his last album “Ode To Thinking,” which was made possible by a hugely successful PledgeMusic Campaign, receiving support from over 750 pledgers. In between albums, Bobby also wrote two poetry books. Now, when he is not too busy singing “Moana” songs to his son, Bobby finds himself recording a new record and still playing gigs. Bobby Long lived in London when Sofar Sounds started there, but played his first show on Long Island, where he said “everyone here is as normal as me,” which he loved. Songs to check out are “Serpentine,” “Nautical,” and “Maserati,” which will be released on his new record.

Bobby Long is a folk troubadour.  "His lyrics are dark, mesmerizing, candid portraits of the human condition more in the vein of Tom Waits than say Dylan or Springsteen but he belongs in the same conversation as that lofty trio."   Take a listen to his "Dead and Gone" video from his 2015 Fallout Shelter show and you'll see what a truly moving, engaging  singer/songwriter he is and why we are so excited to have him return.       

Doors open at 6, music starts promptly at 7 and goes for about 1 ½ hours. Followed by a 30-45 minute always fascinating interview. Over by 9:30. Ticket includes a light buffet and a cool souvenir poster.  There is a cash wine & beer bar for your drinking pleasure.
