SEEKING

ABOUT

I have an eclectic style that can be described as classic-southern-country-folk-americana-gulf and western-rock. My influences are as diverse as Paul Simon, Eagles, Tom Petty, Styx, Jimmy Buffett, John Denver, the Who, Mellencamp, Alan Jackson, and so many others. I like to do some deep dives into covers, but can bring up some popular tunes as well, combined with a lot of original music. Let me know what you are looking for! Sample recordings can be accessed at reverbnation(dot)com/samlong.

I have performed in several bands playing rhythm guitar (acoustic and electric) and singing both lead and backup. Since coming to Texas I have been performing as a solo artist with my 12-string Tak. At times it has been tough getting gigs as many places are looking for groups or full bands. I am looking for someone to collaborate and perform with, ideally a like-minded and versatile bass player/guitarist/vocalist who can do some great harmonies.
