Tricia Davies Nearn - bass and vocals
Jon Heal - guitars and vocals
David Krupski - drums
The Long Version formed in late spring of 2024. Their long combined history in bands aside, this is Tricia's first time up front. Her song-writing reflects her love of the 70s & 80s jangle pop and soft rock as heard on AM radio during her childhood in Seattle. Jon, is a true wordsmith and creative force with an ear for a tuneful riff. David is deft on drums and dad jokes. They are all quite tall and based in South London.

Our debut album, Late Bloomer, was released into the wild on March 20th, 2026. It was produced and recorded by British Americana royalty Peter Bruntnell in the spring and summer of 2025.
This 10-song independent release is an unfeigned collection of tuneful melodies with an appealing twang, written from the perspective of those who've been around the block a time or two with the tales to prove it.
Listen on streaming services everywhere (except Spotify), on YouTube, or heck...buy a CD!
