TULSA, Okla. — Blaine Bailey, a rising star in country rock with deep Oklahoma roots, is coming to the Track 5. stage inside Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa on Friday, Nov. 7, at 9 p.m.
Bailey began writing and playing his own music at age 13. His first album, “Lost City” (2021), paid tribute to his birthplace and upbringing, while his breakout single “Cigarettes and Roses” gained national recognition after being featured in the third season of the hit FX television series “Reservation Dogs.”
Bailey is set for a busy October. In honor of Indigenous Day, Bailey is releasing his newest album titled “Indian Country,” featuring singles like “No Liquor After Dark” and “Hatchet.” He is also featured in the upcoming TV show, “The Road,” premiering on CBS on Oct. 19th.
At only 22 years old, Bailey has already carved a distinctive voice in the music world. Growing up in rural Lost City, just north of Tahlequah, he was surrounded by the blues-infused sounds of his Keetoowah elders. Influenced by legendary guitarists Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughan, as well as the red dirt country music his mother played during his childhood, Bailey developed a unique style that fuses storytelling, soul and grit.
Bailey’s Native heritage is at the heart of his identity and artistry. His love for his people, his wife and his child is woven into every lyric and every note, creating music that resonates deeply with audiences. His raspy, haunting voice carries the soul of the blues, the power of rock and roll, and the spirit of country and western, producing a sound all his own — one that is at once familiar and refreshingly original.
The show is free to those 21 and older.
