Mandolinist, composer, teacher, studio musician, Jason Bailey possesses a range of musicianship of a well-seasoned professional. At the young age of 28, Jason quickly pushed through the Birmingham music scene to become a regional performing musician in a short amount of time. “I was 18 when I got my first mandolin. My Dad came home from a garage sale with it,” says Jason. It must have been destiny because the mandolin is now a part of his soul. That year Jason discovered mandolinist David Grisman as well as other great acoustic musicians. “I didn’t know music like that existed. I had never heard mandolins, violins and acoustic guitars playing essentially jazz with bluegrass instruments and tempo.”
While absorbing the diversities of these acoustic musicians he was also inspired to pursue a bachelor’s degree in music from Maryville College, in 1999. Jason naturally applied his formal education allowing him to be at home in a wide variety of musical genres, including celtic, bluegrass, jazz, rock, jam, country and folk. Jason entertains his audiences with a solid wholesome sound, and places himself in the mix of the greatest innovators of the acoustic music scene.
