TDZk8N58.jpegForget presents and stockings, this teen country artist Bailey James only needs snow — and perhaps a lost love — to complete her Christmas.  She has released her first original holiday single, But If It Snows, which is going to country radio and is now available on iTunes and all digital retailers now.

Written by James, Julie Downs and Steve O’Brien and produced by O’Brien, this bluesy holiday country tune is sure to put even the biggest Grinch into the Christmas mood.  The tune’s groovy, soulful air showcases James’ crystal-clear falsetto and impressive vocal range, while her lyrics weave a picture-perfect holiday scene. “This is my favorite time of year,” says the 15-year-old. “I’m originally from Pennsylvania where we always experience really cold, snowy winters.  For me, Christmas wouldn’t be the same without snow.”

James is ending a whirlwind year on a high note with the release of But If It Snows to country radioThe release follows two successful singles including her Top 40 hit Run Girl.  She promoted the single at her first Country Radio Seminar at the beginning of the year where she performed and was interviewed by countless media outlets. In the following months, she hit the road for a lively tour schedule including many radio station visits and festival appearances including CMA Music Festival. In between the almost constant travel, James spent hours in the studio writing and recording brand new music for 2019, including a special song she wrote for her successful Kickstarter campaign.  Her Won’t Be Silent Suicide Awareness Campaign raised money to produce Won’t Be Silent, shoot an official music video and record a public service announcement with a very uplifting message. “At 15, I am a voice for other teenagers. I provide them someone who listens and has lived a similar struggle. Awareness is the first step in the prevention of suicide. Please don’t be silent!” Stay tuned for this and more music to be released early 2019.
