Americana singer-songwriter and storyteller Leon Long performs live at the Opry Backstage Grill.
Leon Long plays the Opry Backstage Grill on Friday, October 2, starting at 6 PM. He's a Tennessee singer-songwriter and storyteller, born and raised in Chattanooga, and this is a headlining set with him as the sole bill.
Long writes story-based songs about hope and redemption, drawing from his own life and the experiences of others. It's that storytelling side that sits at the center of his work—songs built around a narrative rather than just a hook. The sound blends modern Americana with 1970s country and 1990s rock, and he's tagged with Alternative Country, Americana, and Grunge. That mix puts him in a specific pocket: the country side brings the storytelling and the traditional songwriting, while the rock and grunge lean into the louder, grittier end of the spectrum.
