Bailey Zimmerman is a rising star in the world of county music. His gritty voice and country-pop style have catapulted him up the charts, reaching heights that very few 23-year-olds could ever dream of. Zimmerman was born in Louisville, Illinois, and showed off his strong Christian roots at a recent concert in which he urged fans that “anything is possible for him who believes.”
On June 29 in Detroit, Zimmerman opened for Morgan Wallen at Ford Field. That is when he decided to share advice from the New Testament with his fans who showed up to hear him perform. “Anything is possible for him who believes,” he said.
He continued, saying, “And let me tell you why you should believe in that. Two years ago, I started writing songs in my grandpa’s shop. And now we out here on the One Night At A Time World Tour with Morgan Wallen.”
This piece of advice came straight from Mark 9:23, proving that Zimmerman is no stranger to opening his Bible in times of need. That constant faith and devotion kept him on pace to become one of the biggest up-and-coming artists in country music, touring with artists that he idolized a mere three years ago.
In 2021, Zimmerman found his first success with his single “Never Comin’ Home,” which reached the top 20’s in Spotify’s United States Viral Chart. After that, he didn’t look back. In 2022 he found booming success with the hit song “Fall In Love,” which reached the Top 30 on the Billboard Hot 100. He then inked his name to a contract with Warner Music Nashville, cementing himself as a professional country singer.
At the end of 2022, Zimmerman released “Leave The Light On,” his first project under a major label. That project debuted in the top ten of the Billboard 200 and catapulted Zimmerman onto his first tour as a headliner. His first album, “Religiously. The Album,” debuted in 2023 and has seen major success on both tour and streaming platforms.
Zimmerman has already announced a slate of tour dates in 2024 to share the new album live with his fans. Currently, he is opening for Morgan Wallen on the “One Thing At A Time” tour and delivering great music and life advice to fans who have traveled from all around the nation to see the budding star perform.

Along with his new album, Wallen has seen ravenous fanbases in every city that he has reached on his tour, following a brief hiatus from singing to heal some vocal cord problems. However, hee recently assured fans that those issues are far behind him and that the show will continue.
