The Artist
Jon Bailey is a singer/songwriter from Orono, Maine, writing songs since age fourteen. He plays his guitar upside down and backwards — and somehow makes it feel like the only way music was ever meant to be played.
After moving south, he spent a decade of consistent gigging and live performance across the southeastern United States — from living rooms to festivals, Colonial Quarter stages to community recordings. He released one original solo album, lowercase i (2018), and earned a #1 local ranking on ReverbNation's alternative charts in Saint Augustine. His powerful vocals and raw connection with the crowd leave a mark that doesn't fade.
