Thanks Rupa for letting me use these incredible audio bits 

"Cookies? For Santa?
Are you having a laugh?
What he wants is booze, 
booze and women."

"A negroni... sbagliato... with prosecco..."

"These stockings are STUFFED"

"Merry Christmas to me"

I dreamt big in my high school year book saying in 10 years that i will be "playing Madison Square Garden"...  So here's me playing (a song called) Madison Square Garden.

:)

Madison Square Garden

This song is about a boy I used to date who drew pretty pictures (and still does) :)

Watercolour Boy

I wrote this song about being excited to pickup my now former boyfriend from the airport.  Love is love is love is picking up your partner from the airport

See Ya Next Time

The Dive Bar is about the rush of meeting and connecting with someone new out at the local pub. 

For the past year and a half, I hosted a weekly songwriters open mic at The Silverlake Lounge with my best friend, Rachel, under the name Lazy River Presents.  

One evening I invited a guy I thought was cute out to the event, and while my co-host was running the show, we went to talk on the back patio.  I lost track of time; we had so much fun.  During the next week, while I was a teacher’s assistant for Adrianne Lenker’s School of Song course, I wrote this song.

Although we didn’t work out romantically, the meaning of the song has grown for me to reflect the many incredible connections I’ve made with folks each week at the mic. 

Due to a change in ownership, this iteration of the bar and its programming is coming to an end.  I decided to put this song out on Tuesday, July 30th, 2024, the final night of our open mic.  Although we are saddened to lose an important space for our community, we are grateful for our time there.  We look forward to what’s next.  Stay tuned!

The song was written and performed by me (Zach Bailey), produced by Gal Petel, and mastered by Felix Davis.  The cover art features pictures I took with friends in the photo booth.  Special thanks to The Silverlake Lounge for providing us a home for our event.  Extra special thanks to Rachel Baldwin, my co-host and dear friend, for without whom this mic would not exist.

The Dive Bar

Two best friends, Zach and Rach, in love with the same man.  The catch: he’s two-timing them.  

“Knock Knock” is a bombastic breakup song that flips the script on the classic joke, alchemizing sh!tty situations into a hair-blowing-in-the-wind pop rock banger.

KNOCK KNOCK

Inspired by the dance floors of Los Angeles and the vulnerability of singer-songwriters, Zach shares his music as an offering to deep dive within ourselves and dance to a place of joy.

Originally from Kansas, Zach moved to Los Angeles in 2017 with a business degree and a laundry list of accomplishments to make his mother proud.  Since then, he has toured the world as tour manager for now A-List artists, developed an alter ego as a drag queen, and started a songwriters open mic where he hones his craft performing new songs each week.
‍
Zach continues to write, record, and collaborate with fellow writers, producers, and musicians.  Thanks for listening.  More on the way!
