Bobby Long’s Ode To Touring

After wrapping up a European tour last weekend, Bobby Long unveils the initial schedule for his next U.S. road trip. Cities on the routing include Memphis, Minneapolis and Chicago.  

The British singer/songwriter, who calls New York home, is continuing to support his latest album, 2015’s Ode to Thinking. He recently released a vinyl version simply called Ode. Long has said his goal was to go “back to where I began – to make an album that captures the intimacy of my live shows based around my voice, guitar and new songs.”

For a sample of the new album and Long’s live show, check out his City Winery “One On One” session featuring the track “Something Blue Something Borrow,” which was recorded in New York in March.
