Bio
Michelle Bailey is a vocalist and fiddler, born and raised in the mountain west. She is a strong performer and a gifted musician. Jamie Glaser, an arranger and music producer in Los Angeles says, "Michelle is a seasoned musician. Her vocal sensitivity and phrasing makes her the expressively captivating artist that she is." In her debut solo album, Jesus, Lover of My Soul, Michelle goes back to church where her music and performances began. Her album has captured an unmistakable reverence for the same music she holds closest to her heart. Michelle's simple and unique "grassy- gospel" sound is complemented by her beautiful fiddle harmonies. The album is sure to be a smash hit with gospel lovers everywhere! Michelle has had opportunities during her career to work with many great and renowned musicians. All have had an influence on her music. However, she considers the greatest influence to be her grandfather. "Grandpa always gave me good ol' country and gospel classics to listen to when I was young. He'd take me on long rides in his jeep and would have me listen to song after song on the radio. I grew to love and appreciate gospel music for the uplifting message it carries and for the simple, heartfelt music that it is." Michelle currently lives in Nashville, Tn. where she has been performing on stage for over fifteen years. She has been labeled as the "obvious triple threat" because of her innate ability to write her own music, to sing and play her own songs, and to perform them on stage at a level that resonates far above average. She has played nationwide opening for acts that include Miranda Lambert, Bo Bice, Diamond Rio, Little Texas, Gary Allen, Phil Vassar, Suzy Bogguss, Restless Heart, Sawyer Brown, Brian White, Deanna Carter, Earl Thomas Conley, Highway 101, and .38 Special. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .. .... Michelle Bailey, a fiddler and singer, has been entertaining fans nationwide for over 15 years. She "cut her teeth" as a musician as a child by performing and singing gospel hymns in church. Michelle considers her two greatest music mentors to be her grandfather and her brother. "Grandpa raised me right by always giving me good old country classics to listen to. He helped me learn and appreciate where the roots of country and gospel music came from. I came to realize that the old classics are the foundation of today's country and gospel music." Her brother, J. Marc Bailey, also a musician, spent hours with Michelle crafting and developing the rock edge in her playing. They have been making music together from the beginning and she has provided Marc with the edgy harmony vocals and fiddle that has become a distinct signature sound in his music. Together, they have headlined their own concerts and have opened for many major headline acts, including Miranda Lambert, Diamond Rio, Little Texas, Gary Allen, Phil Vassar, Restless Heart, Sawyer Brown, .38 Special, Brian White, Deanna Carter, Earl Thomas Conley, Highway 101, and LeRoy Parnell. Michelle believes that, "the test of true musicianship and artistry comes from what the musician can 'bring to the table' and contribute to a song. I love being a part of the creation process. For me, I love to hang out with a good harmony line, either on fiddle or vocals. Harmony adds flavor and color to a song. It's what makes music come alive." In her debut solo album, "A Closer Walk with Thee", Michelle returns back to the place where music began for her. Her simply unique "grassy gospel" sound is characterized by the beautiful fiddle harmonies laced throughout her smooth and soulful vocals. Her songs capture an unmistakable reverence for the music she holds closest to her heart.
