   About The Bailey Bros
Growing up in Cleveland, Miss., Jason and Brock Bailey learned the blues early. The two brothers spent much of their early childhood listening to the music of their father, Joe, and their older brother, Chris, before they were even capable of playing. They sang shamelessly in front of the mirror and performed in elementary school talent shows, cultivating their desire to be musicians. As they grew older and learned more about music, their desire to play became insatiable. The Baileys began experimenting with different instruments in the early ’90s before eventually settling on the guitar—Brock playing lead and Jason playing rhythm. Their Delta adolescence was a “musical journey.” As teens, they found inspiration in bands and artists such as Jimi Hendrix to Nirvana, But as they grew older, they realized that their passion was the blues. Jason and Brock moved to Jackson in 1999, and began regularly playing at Fenian’s open-mic nights. In 2004, however, a family tragedy led them to re-evaluate their lives. Chris died of cancer. “We knew that it was time to take our music seriously,” Jason says. The brothers began searching open-mic nights around Jackson to find members for a prospective band. “Once we came here and left the Delta, we were like, ‘Hey, the only thing we can do is play Delta blues’ no matter how much rock and grunge or whatever we listened to as we were growing up,” Jason says. “It’s our own. It’s a re-invented blues. Jason describes The Bailey Brothers’ sound as “new blues standards that we’ve done our own thing with.” The Brothers blend blues phrasing and progressions with a southern-rock edge, pulling inspiration “from ZZ Top to ZZ Hill,” as Jason says. Catchy guitar riffs and foot-tapping rhythms seem to characterize each of their sets, and Brock’s lyrics can easily get stuck in your head if you aren’t careful. “It’s music of common people expressing common, everyday desires and disappointments,” The band mates laugh when they tell you that many of the songs, naturally, are written about women. The group is optimistic for the release of a studio album by next summer and is focused on maturing as musicians. “We, as musicians, discuss what we want to do and try to do. It doesn’t always work, but the chances are the better you get, the more likely you’re going to succeed, One thing is certain about these “blues” brothers: Their roots run deep, not only within their music, but also with each other.
