Todd Bailey’s Projects
Todd Bailey has been working on his music lately and you can listen to some tracks at
Most recently Todd become a self-published author by releasing THE COURTS. “This was a way way to put down some stories of my life and things about me while mixing in a fiction story line.” says Bailey. End result was a 300 page juvenile fiction novel. The book turned out fantastic and sold out after six months. Currently it is available at all major retailers including Target, Barnes & Noble, Half, and many more. Here’s the synopsis and a link to purchase:
SYNOPSIS:
When senior Brad McKenzie graduates from a suburban Philadelphia high school he spends one last road trip at his brothers college with his best friend Tim Pfifer.
Secrets the two have been concealing from everyone for the past six months come to life when Brad tells his story of how an attacker who raped fellow classmate Kelly Sanchez at The Courts, a run down basketball court under the turnpike bridge where all night parties take place, wound up dead.
A coming of age piece which guides us through parallel stories of the McKenzie Brothers and spans over two years of struggle and eventual failure. We cross the mainland United States with Brad leaving everything behind to make it in Hollywood, California as an actor or musician. He is left with nothing except the love of his family and the harshest of realities.
GOOGLE REVIEW:
I found the characters to be comfortably familiar. An enjoyable & interesting read; which raises issues of social significance. I recommend this thought provoking freshman effort, from Mr. Bailey.

Check out a completely acoustic release titled NEON HIGHWAY I put out in 2004. This was just a home recording of some songs I had written and I dubbed over with some background vocals and additional guitars. It’s a lot of fun to listen to and I hope to record a few more of these in the future.

My other album, ONE PRECIOUS STRIDE is still available in limited release numbers at this point. This was the release from the band GYPSY KILLERS in 2001 with Dave Smithson, Marvin Stuhl and Mike Bruder. This is a great album professionally recorded, mastered and replicated.
Currently, as usual, I am writing new songs for an upcoming release titled Here We Are and finishing a collection of three novelletes to be packaged into one larger book.
