Although Bailey has been blessed with amazing melodies, she spends a lot of her professional time songwriting and playing the guitar as well. Not to mention, Bailey has the honor of being a member of the Song Suffragettes, an all-female country music singer-songwriter weekly showcase in Nashville.
Bailey James: “Finally Free”

Further, the song is about ‘setting yourself free from all the heartbreak and toxic relationships’. Bailey’s preceding single to “Finally Free” reached #36 on Top 40 radio and we can only hope that the eighteen year old’s latest track will do the same! Some other accolades of Bailey’s include: performances at the BlueBird Cafe, the Grand Ole Opry, The Wildhorse Saloon, participation in CMA Fest, interviews and performances at Country Radio Seminar in Music City, and traveling across the US on a radio tour.
