Backseat Sandbar and The 930 Listening Room are excited to bring two fantastic artists to the stage December 14th. London (England) native Bobby Long has been touring the U.S. and Europe since earlier in the year captivating audiences with his blues/folk sound; largely inspired by his heroes Woodie Guthrie, Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan. Bobby has independently released a 10-song recording of original material called Dirty Pond Songs which is available at his shows. The single from Dirty Pond Songs, “Left To Lie,” reached #1 on iTunes “Unsigned” chart and #8 on the Folk chart. His Louisville appearance will be one of the last chances to see him perform before he heads off for a brief European tour the beginning of next year.
Bobby Long- Left to Lie
Bobby Long- Being A Mockingbird
Opening the night will be Louisville’s own, Justin Lewis. Justin recently released his first album entitled Man in Motion and has been receiving a tremendous response, including significant play on WFPK and maintaining a 6 week streak at #1 on iTunes acoustic alternative radio. His bluesy riverboat voice sounds as if he’s seen too many rough days, smoking and drinking, but somehow everything balances out for a cool and smooth sailing. His performance will definitely be a treat.
Tickets for the show are $12 ($15 day of) and are on sale now at the930.org and ear x-tacy. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Come out and support these amazing artists!
