Victoria Bailey

Huntington Beach, CA native Victoria Bailey grew up surrounded by music. Her father was a drummer in a rock band, and her mother was immersed in the music of Cat Stevens and James Taylor. She picked up the guitar and started playing when she was 12, and she eventually started writing songs by the time she was 17.   Bailey started performing shows around town in her late teens, discovering country music in the honky tonks she performed in, and she honed her craft in the country bars and on the stages in the LA area. In 2020, she released her first country album Jesus, Red Wine & Patsy Cline to wide acclaim. 2022 found Bailey working on her follow-up release while continuing to look for ways to perform her songs and hone her storytelling. She has headlined shows in LA at the Grand Ole Echo, and she’s performing this year at Docent Fest with headliners Jamestown Revival. Bailey is committed to educating others about folk, roots, and country music, and in 2016 started “Little Folk Club to introduce children and families in her community to her love of traditional folk music and instruments.”   Bailey’s passion and dedication to making authentic country music shines through her performances and her songwriting. She preserves a country sound that has been lost but is now making its way back. With A Cowgirl Rides On, Bailey joins torchbearers Kacey Musgraves and Margo Price in a way that would make Patsy, Loretta, Dolly, and Emmylou proud.
