Background: Delivering high-energy performances in alternative Country and Americana, The Long Haul is a multi-talented trio from Cleveland, Tennessee. Formed in 2015, they've graced stages across East Tennessee and opened for American Idol runner-up Clark Beckham. In December 2015, they won the inaugural Cleveland Starmaker competition. While adept at covers from artists like Alison Krauss and Jason Isbell, the band shines with originals, including their studio-recorded hit “Dirt On Me.” With Derrick Dixon on lead vocals and guitar, Savannah Roberts on lead and backup vocals, and Jono Webb on drums, The Long Haul brings a fresh, distinctive sound to the Country music scene.
