“Ambitious, hypnotic, brooding, infused with sadness and joy, capturing the panorama of its physical and emotional canvas ... irresistible.” |

SHORT BIOG:
The Long Road were formed with a single mad idea to go back to the source to explore and reimagine what might grow out of the great musical roots of USA. Distil something original and powerful to make moonshine music!
LONGER BIOG:
The Long Road were formed with a single mad idea to go back to the source to explore and reimagine what might grow out of the great musical roots of USA.
A crazy notion to try distil something original and powerful from the elements that made some of the most potent music ever heard by human ears.
The band call it Moonshine Music: taking a few simple, authentic ingredients adding a little heat and magic to try to conjure up some rare, raw spirit.
Their music is definitely acoustic but of a powerful and stirring kind. Big melodies and great riffs abound and the stories they wrap round them are intimate and expansive, funny and moving.

QUOTES FROM THE BAND
|
“We ain’t pretty, we ain’t young, but we’ve gone deep and we’ve got something to say!”
Steve Bonham |
"Acoustic music shouldn’t be all sweetness and light. It can be angry, potent and - yes! – damned heavy!"
Kev Moore |
“We didn’t see much point in writing songs that sounded like anyone else, as better people than us had already written them!”
Chris 'The Bishop' Lydon |
WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY
|
"Evokes thoughts of Stephen King's The Dark Tower saga, deep and deliciously dark. Repeating rhythms layer the sound beautifully allowing Steve's distinctive vocals to shine and John Humphreys resonator guitar adds that perfect touch of Country."
Ian Cripps, FATEA |
"Steve earns the title of ‘Songsmith’. He has a feel for melody and mood, and a knack of matching or contrasting words with the music... a mixture of ideas and styles that any aspiring songwriter should hear."
Rock 'n' Reel Magazine |
|
"...actually something of Ray Davies here too, via a jollied up, rhythmic and rocking Fairports."
Bugbear Promotion |
"Very original songs and great arrangements; and some wild Tuba playing!"
Dave Pegg, Fairport Convention |
"The Girl With The Rattlesnake Heart? It bites!"
FATEA |
|
“The outlaw songsmith … employs a …renegade-Anglo touch to make Americana great again… but he’s less world-weary , more foot down hard with raw whisky energy.
