Ashley Long

I am a solo singer/songwriter/musician from an abyssmal black hole of a town called Morristown in East Tennessee. I have played the piano since I was 6 and took up the acoustic guitar in October 2003. I like covering songs but I also write a few myself. I've played on open mic nights in downtown Morristown, The Acoustic Battles at The DownTown, open mics in North Carolina at Blue Mountain Pizza and hopefully some others soon. I have been given alot of support by the other local musicians I am currently a music and Spanish double major at Mars Hill College near Asheville, NC, and am interested in meeting other musicians around the area and possibly playing some open mic nights. I'd like to venture out into the world of gigs but I am on a college student budget and do not own equipment other than my guitar. So for now I'm stuck with open mics and things of the nature unless I can get a gig where amplification and such is provided. I put a lot of time right now into my classical voice stuff and will have a recital coming up in the next 6 months, but hopefully I can get some new acoustic stuff together soon. The songs I have on this page aren't of great sound quality because I record with my mic onto my comp, but it works well enough I suppose. Hope you enjoy.

I used to at Open Mic Night at the Java Garden in Morristown, TN...it was a lot of fun...they don't have it anymore. I wish they would start it back up again though. Occasionally the open mic at Blue Mountain Pizza in Weaverville, NC.

I have a lot of musical influences. Some of them are artists such as Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Alanis Morissette, Bob Dylan, Damien Rice, Ben Harper, etc, however, my main influences have been the local musicians that I have come to know and love in the past year.
