Bailey Marie is a singer, songwriter, and rising country/pop artist from North Carolina whose powerful vocals and fearless storytelling have taken her from the Apollo Theater in New York City to major festival stages across the country. She has written more than 100 original songs alongside Nashville hitmakers behind artists like Lainey Wilson and Cody Johnson, including Doug Johnson (“Three Wooden Crosses”), and currently works with Grammy-nominated producer Kent Wells, longtime collaborator of Dolly Parton. Named Queen City Country’s 2024 Female Artist of the Year, Bailey has shared lineups with icons such as Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll, Gwen Stefani, and Dave Matthews Band. She has performed at major festivals and renowned venues nationwide, building a reputation for emotionally honest songwriting and high-energy live shows. In 2024, Bailey’s dedication to her music made headlines when she was expelled from her private Christian school for performing in licensed venues that serve alcohol — shows that were part of her professional career as a working artist. Rather than slowing her down, the experience strengthened her resolve, pushing her to fully embrace her path as a musician and songwriter. That defining moment now fuels the authenticity and grit behind her music. Also an accomplished actor, Bailey appears as Marianne in Apple TV’s Swagger and Ashley Zamperini in HBO Max’s The Staircase. Whether on stage or on screen, Bailey Marie continues to prove that belief in your calling — even when challenged — can be the spark that changes everything.  https://baileymariemusic.com
