About Sandy Bailey
In the artist’s words:
Describe one of your earliest musical memories in detail. I was born into a biracial church going family so my earliest memory is singing gospel music. I learned how to harmonize from listening to my mother and I would get up and sing in front of the congregation with my father at four years old.
What are your top 3 all-time favorite albums on Apple Music, and why? Why did you choose these three albums in particular? Big Thief, Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You Elliott Smith, Either/Or John Prine, John Prine Elliott Smith was one of the first artists I listened to when I ran away from the church and was finally allowed to listen to music. John Prine is one of the best songwriters of all time. Big Thief cause Adrienne Lenker's songwriting just kills me.
Find a song of yours on Apple Music that you love and tell us what makes it special. Tell us why you chose this song. “If Only Dreams Were True” I recorded this album with my friends over a decade ago while raising two babies as a single mom. I had to put my music career on hold, yet over the years I've been honing my songwriting craft. I will be releasing a self produced album in 2023.
What’s one of the most memorable moments in your career so far? Working on songs in Nashville with acclaimed songwriters Mary Gauthier and Gretchen Peters has been a great honor. My Tiny Desk Contest entry was chosen by WBUR (Boston) as a Massachusetts finalist. Had hometown radio play and some sold out shows
Is there anything left on your bucket list as an artist or band? Since my career is just getting started there are many things on my bucket list! I plan to play outside of New England and release a lot more music over the next two years. I'd love to make a record in Nashville and headline a show there someday.
