Are you an artist who has been waiting for your opportunity to play to a large crowd? Here is your opportunity! Longleaf has always been an avid supporter of new and local artists. Rob Cain who was the ultimate artists cheerleader, created The Freight Train Podcast and the Box Car Songwriters Series for new artists to showcase their talents.
