ABOUT LIZ LONGLEY

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Liz Longley is taking her music on the road this holiday season for a very special first-ever Christmas tour. Known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice and deeply personal songwriting, Liz is embarking on this journey in support of her forthcoming EP, The Holiday Fuss - a collection of original songs that capture the warmth, chaos, and magic of the season.

After releasing her debut Christmas EP A Little Magic in 2020, Liz adds a second holiday collection to her catalog, deepening her love for the season and the stories it inspires. For fans who have followed Liz through albums like Funeral For My Past and New Life, this is a rare and intimate opportunity to experience her in a completely different light - festive, joyful, and full of the same emotional depth that has made her one of Americana/folk's most beloved voices.

Best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Liz Longley is an accomplished singer-songwriter based out of Nashville, TN. With her deeply emotional music, Longley has earned accolades from some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition.

Her self-titled debut album received critical acclaim, being described as “something more; a cleverness, a wit and a mix of musical styles” (Dallas Morning News) and “stunning” (HuffPost). Her follow-up album Weightless, released in 2016, was praised as “a thing of beauty” (Pop Dose) and “packed with instantly memorable pop rock songs…” (Popmatters).

The Berklee College of Music grad worked alongside 5-time Grammy-nominated producer, Paul Moak, on her much-awaited sixth album, Funeral For my Past. The journey of her self-release made music industry headlines when her devoted fanbase raised over $150,000 to help her purchase the rights to and independently release the album. Longley became the #4 most funded solo female musician in Kickstarter history - a story covered by Billboard Magazine.

Embraced by the press and music fans alike, Funeral For My Past was described as a “…stunning new album!” (Forbes), “…from Americana to gospel-flavored soul to shimmering pop anthems” (Billboard), and included in “100 Albums Released in 2020 to Put on Your Radar” (Newsweek). The Nashville-based musician has found a loving give-and-take with listeners: Longley shares her music with the world, enriching fans’ lives, and in return, they provide her with the means necessary for her to make music on her own terms.
