The Little Roy and Lizzy Show

The Little Roy and Lizzy Show are a bluegrass-gospel troupe led by Dove Award-winning multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Elizabeth Long and veteran picker/all-around entertainer Little Roy Lewis. Based out of Lincolnton, Georgia, which also serves as the home for the Lewis Family, who are often referred to as the "first family of bluegrass gospel," the duo cites Earl Scruggs, Marty Stuart, Patty Loveless, Merle Haggard, George Jones, John Hartford, and Mac Wiseman as influences. Long began honing her musical chops at a very young age, and is proficient on fiddle, guitar, autoharp, bass, banjo, and mandolin. She teamed up with Lewis in 2009 for the album Breaking Like Dawn, and again in 2010 for Straight from the Heart of Dixie. The group, which also includes the talents of Nathan Stewart, Haley Stiltner, Tyler Biddix, and Bennett Boswell, issued Lord in the Morning in 2012, followed by Good Time, Down Home in 2016, and Going Home in 2017. Long issued a solo album, Blueberry Pie, in 2015 that peaked at number two on the Billboard bluegrass chart. ~ James Christopher Monger
