Bailer's music is an exciting and original blend of acoustic and electric material. Their music is full of dynamics and melody, which has made the band accessible to audiences all over Ireland. This Irish band was formed in 2001. Founder members of Bailer, (singer) Caitriona McGuinness and (guitarist/songwriter) Maurice Brennan previously played together in Dublin building up a strong repertoire and gaining live experience.
After several line-up changes the band really came into its own in the Summer of 2003 with the arrival of the crazy French Drummer Frank Chircop via The Musicians Institute in Hollywood CA, who travelled to Ireland to find the right band. Bailer released its debut EP In the City in 2004. Session bass player Peter Jordan joined the band in 2005 and features on the latest recording.
Bailer has gigged extensively playing leading Irish venues such as The Point Theatre, Vicar Street, Temple Bar Music Centre, The Green Room, The Music Factory, The Sugar Club, Dolans Warehouse, The Hub and a host of venues and festivals around the country.
Regular supports around Ireland with some of Irelands most popular acts like Aslan and The Hothouse Flowers have provided tremendous exposure and invaluable experience. One of the highlights of 2005 was when the band played at The Point Theatre as Aslan's special guest in December.
The band recently released two singles in 2006 called Tonight and Watch Out! which brought very encouraging airplay both on national and regional radio. Bailer are currently recording their debut album produced by Bobby Boughton at Richmond Studios in Dublin with an early 2008 release date scheduled.
