Stemming out of Ohio University in Athens, OH, Longfellow has confidently unveiled itself to the music industry, and music lovers of all kinds, with the independent release of its debut album, entitled "jangling tea trolley."  With Longfellow's grassroots effort now coming to fruition, the group is quickly making its way into the regional Midwest circuit, where various listeners have made comparisons to Jack Johnson, Ben Folds, Sting, and Dave Matthews Band.  Longfellow took on its infantile beginnings in the summer of 2001.  Having taken time off to explore his songwriting interest, Nick Long began playing with some acquaintances of his in the School of Music at Ohio University.  Over time, the right people came along and Longfellow was born. While the buzz builds through word of mouth, press coverage, and increased radio play, Longfellow continues to grow, sharing its love of music with a diverse community of fans.
