Joe Bailey & the Sweet Leaf Junction Band

I find my audience tends to draw closer to the stage as the night progresses. Dancing, singing & requesting their favorite songs. More recently the venue's I've played at have requested for me to stay and play longer than the originial timeframe booked due to the crowd wanting more.

I’m a native TEXAN, from the greatest city this side of heaven, known simply as H-Town. Always a music lover, as a young boy in the 80’s my dream was to play arena rock, in a band like Led Zep, KISS, Motley Crue Etc. That all changed when I was 12 years old and I went to my first concert. It was in a venue you may have heard of, a little place called The Astrodome, and the relative unknown (to me at the time ) George Strait & His Ace In The Hole Band were playing that night. I’ll never for get when the lights went down, and 60 thousand strong exploded! The majority of the cheers, were provided by the beautiful TEXAS women! My song Rocky Mountain Jeans is based on this event. Such high pitched shrieks, you would have thought The Beatles were taking the stage. It was at that moment, I realized what I wanted to do!
