British singer-songwriter-guitarist Bobby Long has signed a recording agreement with New York-based independent label ATO Records. Long's debut is set for release on February 1, 2011. The album, entitled A WINTER TALE, is a collection of 11 original songs from a repertoire deeply rooted in American folk, blues and country music. The recording is produced by Liam Watson, Grammy® winner for his engineering work on Elephant by The White Stripes, at his analog Toe Rag Studios in London.

Since he began performing in North America in April of 2009, Long has logged more than 150 shows (including sold-out appearances in major U.S. cities, Canada and Europe), winning over audiences with his gritty, passionate performances. His haunting vocals, intricately woven lyrics and intriguing guitar work, not to mention his charming tall tales, have helped to cultivate a devoted fan base that has filled rooms night after night. This year's tour schedule has also included several high-profile festival appearances, among them the Mile High Festival in Denver and the XPoNential Festival sponsored by Philadelphia's WXPN Radio, an early champion of Long's moving, personal songs. As one critic wrote on blogcritics.com: "With raw vocal power and smart, evocative lyrics, Long is a folksinger with a spirited intensity that puts him outside and above the masses of singer-songwriters roaming our cities, towns, and social networks."

'I'm not particularly interested in releasing [an album], but I'd like to do some gigs,' 'New Moon' star says.

Next week in Los Angeles, the cast of "New Moon" will launch a 15-city tour, crisscrossing the nation as they promote the release of the "Twilight" sequel. There's no word yet whether Robert Pattinson himself will show up at any of the events, which will feature Q&As with the cast and live music from "Twilight" bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Band of Skulls. But while such promotional efforts are part of the moviemaking business, the type of tour RPattz is really interested in is of a different pop-culture variety: music.

As he told the Australian newspaper theDaily Telegraph, he one days wants to kick off a concert tour, though he's not as excited about actually releasing an album. "I'm not particularly interested in releasing it, but I'd like to do some gigs," he said. "I guess the only way to do that is to get an album out."

As Twilighters know well, Pattinson plays the guitar and piano and recorded a number of songs for the "Twilight" soundtrack (though only one, "Never Think," eventually was included on the disc). Pattinson also played a struggling singer/songwriter in the indie film "How to Be," which made its TV debut last spring.
