Album Notes

“This voice won’t stay small long”, observed the The Washington Post Express. “Longley… seems destined for a bigger audience.” Even music icon John Mayer, who surprised Liz and fellow Berklee music students when he broke into an impromptu rendition of Liz’s song ‘Queen’, has described her music as “Gorgeous…just gorgeous!”

The internet has been equally effusive about Longley’s music. Liz was voted the No. 1 all-time female vocalist on Garageband.com in both acoustic and folk categories.

During the past year, recognition of Longley’s songwriting has been building. She was selected as a New Folk Finalist at the renowned Kerrville Folk Festival competition in Texas. The Falcon Ridge Folk Festival invited her to be a part of their Emerging Artist Showcase. Her song "Rush" took first place in Berklee's annual songwriting competition and she was awarded Berklee’s top songwriting honor, the Scott Benson Scholarship. Longley was also asked to represent the college in a performance at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Liz performs throughout the Northeast as a solo artist, as a duo with Sarah Zimmermann, or with her band. Liz has played at the Philly Folkfest, Club Passim’s, Tupelo Music Hall, Philly’s World Café and the Kennedy Center. She has shared the stage with Nanci Griffith, Kenny Rankin, Livingston Taylor, Jonathan Edwards and Jesse Colin Young.

A star in the making

I was lucky enough to see Liz in person at a tiny venue in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania in November. She had so much personality and vibrancy that literally defined the term "charisma". Her song writing skills are unbelievable for someone so young and her voice is somewhere between Joni Mitchell's and Nora Jones', although with a style all her own. If Liz Longley comes to your area see her NOW while you can still aford the tickets and the venues are small enough to get to know her without sitting hundreds of yards away. She is destined for full-blown stardom. I'm going to see her next month in Philly at the Tin Angel on Jan. 13th. Perhaps I'll see you there.

This girl is amazing! Her rich vocals are a joy to listen to. Her songs are so well written. " Almost Over You" is my favorite - just gorgeous. "Queen" is mesmerizing and one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. I play her cds in my store which is in the largest mall on the east coast. When people hear her voice, they are amazed and always ask where they can buy her cds. Her voice is just so rich and beautifully controlled.
