Sometimes funny and always entertaining, singer-songwriter Eric Long is a Bay Area roots musician and folk singer with deep and lasting ties to early country and blues. NPR’s All Songs Considered hailed his voice as carrying a “…timeless timbre that sounds well-traveled, self-reflective and pure,” while Relix called his last LP “easy to listen to and easy to love.”
With 3 solo records under his belt as well as his newly released EP ‘The Kawana Sessions (2022)," Eric has solidified himself as a staple of Northern California's folk music scene, often performing with some combination of fiddle, mandolin, banjo, bass and drums. The music is as natural and replenishing as the rain, and whether it be under twinkling stars or over coffee in the High Sierra, the trust he garners is immediate.
Eric has performed on 3 continents and has opened for the Grammy winning Roots act Fantastic Negrito as well as acoustic and country music royalty Doug MacLeod, Guy Davis and Josh Turner.
"His work resides at the heart of what Woody Guthrie was talking about when he asked and answered whose land this is. By listening to him, one gets the sense that he knows you, that he’s heard your stories and felt your struggles and understands your highs and your lows. He, like so much else, was made to be shared, made to cherished, made for you and me." - For the Folks
