Liz Longley, Will Orchard @ BALLARD HOMESTEAD

LIZ LONGLEY: www.lizlongley.com

Best known for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice, Liz Longley is an accomplished singer-songwriter based in Nashville, Tennessee. With her deeply emotional songs, Longley has earned accolades from some of the most prestigious songwriting competitions in the country and cultivated a following that enthusiastically supports the creation of her music.

In 2020, Longley’s “Funeral For My Past” received widespread acclaim, with Forbes hailing it as a “stunning new album.” Billboard described it as spanning genres from Americana to gospel-flavored soul to shimmering pop anthems. The album was also included in Newsweek’s list of “100 Albums Released in 2020 to Put on Your Radar.”

2024 brings a new release from Liz, “It’s Me Again,” an EP featuring acoustic remakes of career-defining songs. Notably, among the revisited songs is “Unraveling,” a track that previously earned Longley the prestigious BMI John Lennon Scholarship Award. Fans eagerly anticipate this next chapter in her career, alongside hints of an upcoming full-length record. -Artist Bio

WILL ORCHARD: www.willorchard.net

Will Orchard is an indie-folk artist based in Nashville. He began his career in his home

state of Rhode Island with the experimental project, LittleBoyBigHeadOnBike. He

established a prolific output of 100 EPs and LPs by 2018, often with a lo-fi, homespun

touch. Orchard transitioned to an americana-centered sound under his own name, while

maintaining the gently atmospheric and introspective qualities of his former project. He

has toured the US and much of Europe, and has supported Y La Bamba, Josiah

Johnson, and The Brazen Youth. Having released four EPs and LPs as Will Orchard,

both independently and with Brooklyn-based label, Better Company Records, he has

been praised by PopNews, Glide Magazine, The Wild Honey Pie, Atwood, and more as

a unique, emerging voice in folk music. -Artist Bio
