About this event

British singer-songwriter Bobby Long is making a special stop in Carlinville to benefit SamJam4NF, Inc. while on a U.S. tour promoting his new album ‘Sultans’. The concert will be at The Anchor Inn on Monday, April 15th at 7pm.

Bobby Long emerged from London’s folk scene in 2009 with a reputation for creating memorable poetic songs and has released four albums. His critically-acclaimed debut A Winter Tale (2011) was followed by the more rock-oriented Wishbone (2013). He returned to his singer-songwriter roots for the evocative Ode to Thinking (2015), and now Sultans (2019) which was released by Compass Records on March 1st.

Long headlines his own shows and has supported major artists, including Steve Winwood, Iron & Wine, Rodrigo y Gabriela and Brett Dennen, as well as playing high profile festivals like Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits, the Dave Matthews Caravan, and England’s Glastonbury Festival. He has appeared on The Tonight Show and early in his career gained notoriety from having a song featured in the blockbuster film Twilight.

The special live performance is being presented by SamJam, a Carlinville based 501(c)(3) organization established to benefit Neurofibromatosis (NF) research and awareness. The organization annually hosts a music festival with SamJam Music & Brewfest 2019 taking place on September 21st at the Macoupin County Fairgrounds.

“SamJam is thrilled to host Bobby Long for this intimate performance,” said SamJam founder Peter Oswald. “Rather than having a night off before his show in St. Louis, Mr. Long opted instead to come to Carlinville and help raise funds for our organization and provide a special evening for music fans in the area.”

Tickets are $8 and on sale online at https://samjambobbylongconcert.bpt.me, in-person at the Anchor Inn, and available at the door the day of show with all proceeds benefitting SamJam. Attendees must be age 21 or older. More information is available at www.facebook.com/2019SamJam or by contacting contact@samjam4nf.com.
