Lizzy Long

"I have been traveling for many years, but it is seldom that you see such a talented newcomer as Elizabeth Long," stated bluegrass legend Earl Scruggs. "She'll be a household name among bluegrass fans."

 

A graduate of LCHS and Glenville State College in Glenville, West Virginia, Long has mastered the piano, the fiddle, the banjo, the resonator and bass banjos, the guitar, the autoharp, the bass fiddle, the mandolin, the trumpet, the trombone, the tuba, and the drums. And on top of all that, she has a beautiful singing voice.

 

Many fans of the genre are already familiar with her powerful vocals, enchanting fiddling and driving guitar playing.  Despite her youth, Lizzy has already released a number of albums. She’s got a clear vision of success, her musicianship is sturdy, her attitude is confident, and her work ethic is strong. Born and raised on a Georgia farm, her myriad musical interests led her to country, bluegrass and pop music, and she took it upon herself to learn the instruments of these genres.

 

Besides holding a degree in business law, she has also studied music orchestration and arrangement. At present, she plays in a band called “Mountain Fury” with her sister (Rebekah) and two college friends (Eileen Marsh, Rachel Singleton) in West Virginia. Lizzy’s mentors Scruggs and Little Roy Lewis know that she’s got plenty on the ball.

 

Lizzy chooses to endorse the new Recording King Century Jubilee Series guitars (RDJ-27).  Lizzy’s Century Jubilee model is made with an all-solid Sitka Spruce top and all-solid East Indian Rosewood back and sides, and finished with hand-rubbed nitrocellulose lacquer.  Asked about her guitar, Lizzy says, “It’s a great guitar.  I've played on every show since I received it, and everybody has been asking how to get it...the tone is good with plenty of volume.”
