Long Way Home
We are …
… an independent folk duo from the Sunshine Coast, Australia. We met through our shared passion for music, and have developed a love for story-telling and connecting with people through this beautiful art medium.
Having grown up by the ocean, Will Outridge and Savanah Murphy now live in the heart of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. This has made for a unique blend of influences in their songwriting, as they mix the free, exuberant vibrancy of the coast with a more contemplative and peaceful sense that they have adopted since living in the hinterland.
Just a few short months after announcing their project, Long Way Home have supported several touring artists in its short lifespan, including sold out shows supporting Kim Churchill, featuring in music festivals like Rockhampton River Festival and Festuri Festival. They bring an easy-going, welcoming honesty to their performances, warmly engaging with audience members as they share their stories and music.
The essence of their sincere lyricism is brought to life by rich vocals, bright, intricate acoustic guitar riffs, dramatic but light-hearted piano and a driving kick drum, which come together to connect with the audience, tugging at heart strings while inviting feet to tap and hands to clap.
