About Me

During several years as MOONLIGHT GRAHAM's frontman and lead songwriter, Chris Bailey has led the band through regional tours, national radio play and the making of three acclaimed albums. The latest of which, "gone.Circus", received glowing reviews and was placed on the 2006 Grammy Ballot in Category 16 - Best Rock Performance by A Duo/Group with Vocals, and Category 20 - Best Rock Song.Bailey's refreshing blend of folk, blues & americana rock has been compared to modern artists such as Andrew Bird, David Gray and R.E.M. as well as artists of the 60s & 70s such as the Beatles, Cat Stevens, Van Morrison and Graham Nash. Bailey's home-recording technique creates a natural sounding album reminiscent of Paul McCartney's early, post-Beatles records.With a vast range of influences, Bailey's soulful style connects with listeners, while remaining far from typical.Bailey has landed in California, bringing his new act to the west coast. Look & listen for performances somewhere in the pacific sun.
