Thomas Bailey - USA
As a recognizable face in the Old Time Music scene/festival circuit, Thomas Bailey's sound and style expresses his deep love and passion for Southern string band music. Born and raised in Southwest Virginia, this die hard performer's powerful and distinct baritone voice punctuates his multi-instrumental facility of guitar, fiddle and string bass. As a journeyman musician and singer of such bands as the Hogwaller Ramblers, Faster than Walking and most recently the hard charging, energetic festival fave, The Forge Mountain Diggers. Bailey kicks off 2008 with an exclamation when he joins the newly revived, old time trailblazers, the Freight Hoppers. Fans who had one last listen of the critically acclaimed Top 20 Billboard Americana music chart topping band back in 2001, will witness history in the making when Bailey, along with original members, fiddler David Bass (coming off the FMDs), banjo player Frank Lee and new bass player Isaac Deal, take the stage.
