The 2022 Evolve Bank & Trust Cooper Young Festival, slated for Saturday, September 17th from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., has announced its musical lineup.
The headliner will be Bailey Bigger, backed by a band featuring Mark Stuart (bass guitar), Wyly Bigger (keyboards) and Danny Banks (drums).
Growing up in small town — Marion, Arkansas, just outside of Memphis, Tennessee — Bigger began writing and performing seriously in Memphis at the age of 14. It’s been quite a journey from that to Bigger’s debut full length album, Coyote Red, released by Madjack Records in March and featured in the Memphis Flyer‘s music column at the time.
At the time, we wrote of her strong-yet-delicate singing and evocative songwriting, with echoes of Joan Baez and similar artists. Bigger noted that when producing the album, Mark Stuart told her, “I think this record’s about you showing who you are, in a genuine, down-to-earth way.” It’s not to be missed.
