Biography

In 1992, Timothy Bailey moved to Richmond, Virginia where he co-led the bands Schwa and Fashion Central. Those bands released 7" singles on Brilliant Records and SpinArt in the U.S. and Elefant Records in Europe.

After several years of extensive touring, Bailey burned out, selling all his equipment and dropping out of the music scene entirely. Over the next 10 years, Bailey held a variety of jobs, did a stint in grad school, fell gravely ill, and recovered.

Richmond's Cherub Records released Timothy Bailey & The Human's debut EP "Ecoutez! Ecoutez!" in June 2006. The EP represents just a small sampling of the explosion of songs Bailey has recorded since the end of his hiatus from music. The recordings show a hard-won maturity and optimism that could only arise from a painful and honest reckoning with life's low points.

Bailey's main songwriting concern is how people try to maintain a realistic sense of hope in the face of life's worst difficulties.

TB&TH Advance in The International Songwriting Competition January 16, 2007
I'm extremely pleased to anounce that I received word today that all six of my entries into the International Songwriting Competition (http://www.songwritingcompetition.com/) have advanced to the next round of judging. The songs are "East Laburnum," "The Blades of Death," "Colorado Girl," "The Pretty Lights," "The Honey and The Lye," and "Matter and the Void." There were over 14,000 songs submitted, so I'm thrilled to have made it this far. If the songs advance to the semi-final round, I'll have the chance to be heard by several of my songwriting heroes who are sitting on the panel--Tom Waits, Brian Wilson, Rosanne Cash, and on and on.
