Bobby Long’s hitting the road with his new 5 song EP, The Backing Singer.  The limited edition EP, available exclusively at shows, was recorded in a New York City church with producer Jesse Lauter (Low Anthem) and features guest vocals by The Secret Sisters, Cat Pierce (The Pierces) and singer/songwriter Dawn Landes.  Of making the new EP, Long comments, “I had these songs I wanted to get out there. I also had a month off the road in between touring for A Winter Tale.  Jesse knew the church on East 50th Street and we recorded it live in one afternoon. All of the songs are first or second takes. I was able to have some of my friends lean in (violinist Jack Dawson) and lend their beautiful voices to the project – The Secret Sisters, Trouble Over Tokyo, Cat Pierce from The Pierces and Dawn Landes. They all did an incredible job of both striking their personalities and lending goodwill and time.”

See Bobby on the road this fall/winter
