Liz Longley Live at the Ross Farm | EmpowHER Concert

We are thrilled to welcome acclaimed singer-songwriter Liz Longley to the Ross Farm MainStage this summer.

Known for her powerful vocals, deeply honest songwriting, and captivating live performances, Liz has built a devoted national following, and we’re honored to bring her to our stage as the headlining artist for our EmpowHER celebration.

Nashville-based singer-songwriter Liz Longley is celebrated for her stop-you-in-your-tracks voice and deeply emotional music, blending folk, pop, and Americana. She has earned accolades from prestigious songwriting competitions, including the BMI John Lennon Songwriting Scholarship Competition.

Her self-titled debut album was praised as “stunning” by HuffPost and marked by “cleverness and wit” by the Dallas Morning News. Her follow-up album Weightless (2016) was called “a thing of beauty” by Pop Dose. Liz’s sixth album, Funeral For My Past, became a major independent success after fans raised more than $150,000 on Kickstarter to fund its release, making her the #4 most-funded solo female musician in Kickstarter history. The album earned widespread acclaim, Billboard praising its range from Americana to shimmering pop anthems.

Becoming a mother in 2022 brought new depth and perspective to Liz’s songwriting. Her most recent album, New Life (2025), reflects this new chapter, showcasing both her personal growth and her continued evolution as an artist.
