Todd Bailey – Folk, POP & Americana Songwriter
Authentic Songs. Heartfelt Performances. Original Voice.
An industry recognized and award winning songwriter with thirty years of real stories. Todd started busking on Hollywood Blvd in the late 1990’s, spent decades fighting demons, and now writes story-driven songs that hit people who’ve lived a little. If Jimmy Buffett, Robert Earl Keen, and Niko Moon had a songwriter cousin who survived the long road. Todd Bailey is a songwriter and artist whose songs echo the grit of the road, the heart of small-town stages, and the soul of an authentic songwriter.
Based in Burlington, NJ (South Jersey and Philadelphia), Todd’s award winning songs blend folk, country, pop, and Americana into a sound that’s both familiar and fresh. His acoustic-driven performances and lyrical storytelling offer a refreshing contrast to modern production with stripped down songs and straight forward stories and melodies. Bailey is a songwriter’s songwriter—gritty, melodic, and true to his voice.
