The Jon Bailey band was born in Parkton Maryland in 2005, the limits of their music only bound by their imagination. With an undying need to explore the musical possibilities, the Jon Bailey Band has carved a new niche in the music world. Based on all aspects of music, from country to rock and roll and from blues to bluegrass nothing is ignored and the soul that emanates from every song is palpable proof that music is why they play what they play.

From the first show at the Recher Theater in Towson Maryland in august of 2007, it was clear that fans of real music were drawn to them. The first show drew more than 200 people and the band has been going strong ever since. The follow up to the first show was an equal success and the need to move on was apparent.

The Band called upon long time friend and engineer Drew Lamond at Wright Way Studios in Baltimore Maryland for their first E.P. “Free Lovin’”. There the Jon Bailey Band found its sound, a deliberate mix of classic songwriting and new school rock and roll, a masterful blend of the old and the new.

The shows that followed were chosen with the same deliberation, with an emphasis on the show as an “event”. After having played several area venues such as the 8x10, the Recher Theater, Hightopp’s Backstage Grille and several house parties the band decided it was time to make their first full-length record “Chances”.

With the creation of “Chances”, the band has developed their sound and style. The record embodies over 20 years of song writing and is accented by sweet harmonies, which are carried out in a sea of melody. The Jon Bailey Band has pursued and achieved the creation of music for music’s sake, leaving all egos at the door while allowing the listener into delve into a world filled with all the mystery and intrigue that is “Chances”.
