Bobby Long's music harkens back to that of the 1960s folk revival, as does his method of distributing it. This is at least true of his most recent EP, The Backing Singer , which was released earlier last month and is available exclusively at his live shows.

All of the songs are first or second takes." The production of the album hints at the simple, acoustic roots Bobby Long is known for. [...]

Beautiful poetic lyrics, a young strong and haunting voice, meet Bobby Long, he is absurdly talented. Influences of Dylan and Neil Young resonate through his folky style. When I read that Bobby Long only started learning guitar at age 17, I had to re read the article. I caught this guy at Bluesfest in Byron recently and previously on the London circuit in Notting Hill. He is sweet and engaging, on stage. You know the sort of gig where although packed everyone goes silent as they try to soak up every bit of the artist hanging on his [...]

Tennis performs Friday, 3/4, at Johnny Brenda's FRIDAY, MARCH 4 Looking for inspiration for your next music project? Why not save up your pennies, buy a boat, and sail along the East Coast for eight months? It certainly worked for Denver's husband-and-wife duo of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore, who—after toiling away in a handful of lesser-known area bands—left their local scene behind them for the the tranquil waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Upon their return, Riley and Moore realized that—when it came to writing new music—their [...]
If this man-as-musician is not careful, he may find himself desperately digging out of the hole that is caused by rugged glamour - trying to prove that his talent outweighs his presence. With scratched vocals that sound as if he's screamed his way through hell, Bobby Long sings A Winter Tale like it's his last chance. In reality, it's one of his first chances, but the desperation in his tone leads me to believe he's onto something. From the moment that the opening acoustic guitar breaks into distortion on the album's title track, and his heavy voice cuts through, [...]
