“During the past year, Liz garnered three of the top honors on the acoustic music scene: Grand Prize Winner of the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival’s Songwriter Showcase, 2009 Co-Winner of the Mountain Stage New Song Contest, finalist in the 2009 Grassy Hill Kerrville New Folk Competition. Most recently, she was awarded the Overall Grand Prize in the International Acoustic Music Awards (IAMA) among 9,000 entries.
Liz’s open approach to songwriting across several genres is not only why her music defies classification, it is also why music lovers seem so taken with her performances.
Liz has been described by Livingston Taylor as “a world-class singer… one of the best I’ve ever heard”. ‘The Telegraph’ of New Hampshire says, “Longley’s songs swell with honesty and genuine emotion…” Pop icon John Mayer has described her music as “gorgeous.” The Washington Post agrees and adds, “This voice won’t stay small long… singer-songwriter Liz Longley seems destined for a bigger audience.”
In addition to regularly sharing the stage with Livingston Taylor, Liz has opened for acclaimed acts such as Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, Colin Hay, Nanci Griffith, Jesse Colin Young, and Jonathan Edwards.

Common Thread is made up of Downingtown native Sarah Zimmermann, and Atlanta-based Justin Davis. After respective moves to Nashville, Sarah and Justin met in the guitar performance program at Belmont University (realizing they had matching Telecasters) and quickly discovered that although players in their own right, together they were able to create a sound that Nashville hadn’t heard before…mix Lady Antebellum with Les Paul and Mary Ford, throw in a little Led Zeppelin and Jerry Reed, and you come out with Common Thread…a little bit Country, a little bit Rock ‘n Roll, and a whole lot of ear-catching twists and turns that are sure to keep you listening!
