| Jason Bailey Band definately has influences form the pioneers of acoustic music, David Grisman, Tony Rice, Stephanne Grappelli, Tim O'Brien, Sam Bush, Mike Marshall and many more. However, what sets Jason Bailey apart from others in this genre is that his music is yet another step further from the prieviously pushed boundries of his predecessors. "There is an excellent mandolinist in our city. He's quietly accomplished - not the kind of guy to brag or boast - so we'd better do it for him." -Mary Colurso, City Scene, Dec. 07 "Call Jason Bailey a musician. Call him a mandolin player. But don't call his music bluegrass. At least not all of his music. Bailey says he enjoys playing all kinds of instruments from around the world but continues to play the mandolin because of its unique sound...a sound that transcends musical genres." -Greg Bass, WBHM Tapestry As a mandolinist, composer, teacher, and studio musician, Jason Bailey possesses the range of musicianship expected from a well-seasoned professional. Bailey has twice been a feature artist on WBHM's Tapestry for his solo recordings, Southwood and September in the South. In addition, both albums have been a feature for the online magazine, MandolinCafé.com. In 2007 Bailey was nominated for the Birmingham Area Music Awards in the category of best Country/Bluegrass/Americana artist. He also plays with Birmingham-based favorites such as Stuart McNair and the Contraband, Lolly Lee and Jason Bailey (a.k.a. Sugar Mama and the Poolboy), The Lost Jim Trio, celtic-infused Shilleleagh Law, folk/rock Three Man Stone, bluegrass group The Bluegrass Cartel and the regional touring jazz/bluegrass/southern jam band Tonal Vision. He has been a guest at Birmingham's City Stages and Do Dah Day, Mobile's Bayfest, Georgia's Little Turnip Town Overnight Music Jam, and The Acoustic Café in Hayden, Alabama to name a few. These guys remind me of the Dixie Dreggs and that's a good thing. They have also listened to Bela Fleck, not bad either. Congratulations on being the best submission from a very tough month of competition. You will be featured in my newsletter The Music City Beat! and be posted at Pat Adams Tennessee Concerts with contact info, bio, pic and links.
