Bailey Zimmerman grew up in Monticello, Illinois, where his father played guitar and his mother sang in church. He started writing songs early and played local bars and festivals before moving to Nashville.
His debut album 'Leave the Light On' came out in 2021 with songs like 'Rock and a Hard Place' and 'Fall in Love.' The record got attention for its straightforward emotion and melodies that stuck with listeners.
Zimmerman's live band includes Alex Saragosa on guitar, Tyler McComas on bass, Mike Brunson on drums, and Tristan Absher on keyboards. He's mentioned Hank Williams Jr., John Mellencamp, and Jason Aldean as influences, though his own sound pulls from country and rock without getting too fussy about blending genres.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
