Zach Bailey

Songwriter / Performer / Recording Artist
Zach Bailey (he/they) is a small town, assigned boy at birth, raised in the bright lights on stage. Forged in the LA open mic scene, Zach’s tender, reflective songs weave inherited legends into personal narrative, asking: what are the threads that bring us together?

Zach is the founder of Lazy River Presents, where he has hosted a songwriter’s open mic for the past three years, first at The Silverlake Lounge and now at The Fable.  His previous single “See Ya Next Time” was a finalist in 88.5 FM The Socal Sound’s 2024 “Next Big Sound”.  His debut record is anticipated for release in the Fall of 2026.

Zach continues to write and record with their community of collaborators.  More on the way!
"The Dive Bar" debuted July 30th, 2024. It is a story of connecting with folks from the open mic they host. Its music video showcases many familiar faces from the scene.
“The Dive Bar” is a heartfelt tribute to the open mic scene… showcasing it as a nurturing ground for artists… through the connections forged within its walls.”

"Zach Bailey's recent full band show at a packed Hotel Cafe... enticed with slow-burned guitars, mood-drenched vocals... and a thunderous applause erupted after 'See Ya Next Time' was performed."

"[When I Was With You's] heartfelt and poignant lyrics epict a tale of lost love, while evoking deep nostalgia. You can feel the sadness, but also a glimmer of hope in Zach's haunting voice. Every note, every word is imbued with palpable emotion."
