BOBBY LONG ANNOUNCES 2011 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR IN
SUPPORT OF DEBUT ALBUM, ‘A WINTER TALE’
British singer-songwriter Bobby Long will begin 2011 by embarking on the first
leg of a North American concert tour in support of his long-awaited recording
debut, A WINTER TALE, from New York-based independent label ATO Records.
The collection of 11 original songs, produced by Grammy®-winner Liam Watson,
will be released on February 1, 2011.
Long, who now makes his home in New York City and perhaps is best-known as the songwriter behind “Let Me Sign” featured in the blockbuster film Twilight, has cultivated a devoted fan base through non-stop touring in the United States, Canada and Europe. Known for a repertoire deeply rooted in American folk, blues and country music, he will return to the road with a band of crack musicians to fully bring his gritty, powerful material to life on stage. As the San Diego Entertainer described it: “All his songs are like a well-orchestrated ballet of chord progressions and vocals that pluck at the deepest confined thoughts of your soul.”
The special edition 5-song vinyl EP called STRANGER SONGS that was released in November as a preview of the forthcoming CD has already sold out of its initial pressing. Comprising three tracks from A WINTER TALE plus two bonus tracks, it reached #1 on both the CIMS Vinyl debut chart and AIMS debut chart compiled by independent record stores nationally. A second pressing will be available for the holiday season.
Bobby Long was named one of "10 Artists to Know in
2011" by the New York Post:
