I'm really looking forward to a Tennessee Christmas this year :) 2020 has been a crazy year for all of us but I sure hope everyone finds some love and peace during the holidays.
Some years back we recorded a Christmas album of some of my favorite songs along with a couple originals. Just wanted to offer it as a free download here from the website. For anyone that would prefer a YouTube playlist for the album click here.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

When the decision was made to re-record this song and add it to the album last minute I was both hesitant and excited. This song really means a lot to me, it was one that I had hoped would have been released as a follow up single to "Just To Hang Around" years ago and it holds a lot of bitter sweet memories. I wrote it together with my brother and one of his friends and it's always been a favorite of mine to perform live.
I love this new take on the song, the slower pace and open arrangement allows space for the lyric and emotion. It will be available for download and streaming soon but you can hear it in it's entirety here before the official release just click on the following YouTube link.
I've also attached an acoustic songwriter's cut of the song which won't be available anywhere else.
Sending love and wishing everyone safety and peace.

I love this song! My good friend and fellow artist, Jeneen Teranna wrote it and when she sent it to me and asked if I'd be interested in doing it as a duet I was blown away. The idea for doing a duet together came last August when I had a show at a venue called "Rider's In The Country" just outside Ashboro, NC. It was the annual Conquer Entertainment after party and we had Abby Kasch from the previous season of The Voice there performing as well. The night before the show some of our mutual friends were hanging out and Jeneen and I started jammin' out some acoustic songs together, I always knew she was an amazing lead vocalist but I was so impressed with how effortless she made it seem to nail harmonies almost instantly singing together with me. After just a couple songs I asked if she wanted to come do the show with me the following night, needless to say it was an awesome experience and we had a great time on stage. Since then we have been able to perform together at several songwriter nights in Nashville as well as track this duet at Soundstage Studios and work on getting it ready for release. Here is the YouTube video as well as a link to a free download of the Pre-Release Mix which I know you are gonna love :)

"Welcome To The LIfe" was one of my favorite songs to play live, it was originally released on the "Just To Hang Around" album. Together with Buddy Hyatt both playing keys and producing the song, James Mitchell and Austin Crum tearing it up on guitars along with the rest of the crew including Zach Allen doing the engineering it was picked for a re-release on the new EP! I wrote it together with Chris Russo and Scott Naylor a couple of the best guys I've ever had the pleasure of working with. A free Download is available for the next 24 hours by just clicking HERE.

"Deepest Blue" is the latest song to be finished, get the first listen right here!
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great 2019 and has some fond memories of the year. I'm so looking forward to 2020 and I really hope this coming year will be something special. I wanted to announce that we have decided on "I Can't Stop You" from the upcoming EP as the radio single, it's being schedule for official release late January / Early February! We have been working on two versions of the song and are not sure which one will be chosen for the release but I thought it would be cool to give a preview of one of the two. This mix features Pat Buchanan on slide guitar, Brent Mason on the tele, and Buddy Hyatt on keys. I hope you enjoy!
Best Wishes to Everyone For an Amazing 2020!

This song has gone through so many changes and versions as it's evolved. I've had a lot of people reach out and let me know that they relate to it. I'm excited to share one of two final cuts with this one featuring Pat Buchanan on the slide guitar and Brent Mason on the electric. Click the link below to listen on YouTube.
Hope you enjoy!

Merry Christmas! Hope everyone is having a very happy holiday season! I’ve always loved all things Christmas - this album was done quite a few years back and with all the time in studio we are currently spending on the new stuff we found a little window to do some digital remastering of a “Country Christmas”.
We've set the album for free download just click here. Thank you for an awesome 2019 and here's to an even better 2020!
Love - J.
"Last of a Dyin' Breed" was originally slated for the "Unbroken" album which was a project that meant a lot to me but was never released. This is the first of several songs that will be released as singles over the next few months. It will be available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all the other major music platforms in the next 30 days but you can get an advance copy of it here as well as on www.GetConquer.com/jmarcbailey
I've been getting a lot of requests to put out a full version of "Maybe This Time" after I posted a short clip a couple days ago so here it is in a very raw acoustic demo form. Just wanted to say that inspiration from this comes from believing that with love, there is always a way. If you truly love and care for someone, I believe there are ways to make it work and get things right... escape the mistakes of the past and make a good love last :) Maybe This time...
Click here for the video, I've also included a code with this email for a free download of the song.
Hope you like it!
