NEW ALBUM

Release date february 28, 2025

Nashville, Tenn. (February 28, 2025) – Turnberry Records proudly announces the release of Pride of Appalachia, the highly anticipated album from Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run. A heartfelt tribute to the resilience, culture, and spirit of Appalachian life, this album delivers a powerful blend of storytelling, tradition, and top-tier musicianship.

"This is my DNA laid out in song; it has always been my desire to reflect on the life of ordinary folk—the true Pride of Appalachia," says Bailey, who continues to gain recognition as one of bluegrass music's most promising songwriters. Recently dubbed the "Virginia Storyteller," Bailey has crafted six of the album's ten tracks, including the evocative title track "Pride of Appalachia," as well as "Minneapolis-Moline," "Jollett Brown," and "The Corner of 12th & Clay."

Among the album's highlights, Bailey teamed up with bluegrass great Tim Stafford to co-write "The Story Silence Never Told," which earned a coveted performance spot at the 2023 IBMA Songwriter Showcase. He also collaborated with Brandon Kyle on "There's No Wind in the Eye of the Storm."

Two previously released singles, "Hard Working Country Preacher Man" (Mark "Brink" Brinkman, Terry Foust, Mike Evans) and "That's Alright" (David Stewart), have already topped multiple bluegrass radio charts. Other standout tracks include "Kentucky Boy" (Gary Ferguson, Paul Craft) and "Half Past You" (David Morris), all of which contribute to the album's rich tapestry of Appalachian life.

A Musical Tribute to Appalachian Heritage

Deeply connected to his roots, Bailey draws inspiration from the people and stories of the Blue Ridge Mountains, where his ancestors were displaced to make way for Skyline Drive. Through themes of love, farming, faith, and hardship, Pride of Appalachia pays homage to the resilience and grit that define the region.

Bringing these stories to life is a stellar lineup of musicians:

Caleb Bailey – Lead vocals, guitar

Brandon Kyle – Bass

Chandler Beavers – Mandolin

Chad Darou – Dobro, baritone vocals

Rob Slusser – Banjo

Merl Johnson – Fiddle

Ron Stewart – Fiddle (Tracks 3 & 10), Banjo (Track 3)

Wyatt Wood – Guitar, tenor vocal

Produced by Caleb Bailey, mixed and mastered by Ron Stewart, and recorded at Caleb Cox Homestead Studio in Maryland, the album captures the authentic, soul-stirring essence of Appalachian bluegrass.

Bailey's talents extend beyond singing, songwriting, playing guitar, and leading a band. He recently announced the formation of a brand new bluegrass festival he is producing called NoBull…Just Bluegrass Festival. It will be held on July 4-5, 2025, at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, Virginia, hosted by Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run. It will feature performances by Lonesome River Band, Junior Sisk, Nothin' Fancy, and many more.

Grottoes, VA (September 13, 2024) – Hot off the success "That's Alright," Turnberry Records announces the release of another single, "Minneapolis- Moline," from Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run.

"Minneapolis-Moline" is an original song written by Caleb Bailey, who is quickly garnering attention as one of bluegrass music's up-and-coming songwriters and has recently been dubbed the Virginia Storyteller. The song offers a unique perspective, capturing the plight of an Indiana farm family and their tractor, a Minneapolis-Moline. Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run takes the listener through the life of an impoverished Midwest childhood, but one that is rewarding and romanticized.

"So many people sing about John Deere, International Harvesters, and so on, I thought it would be cool to write about a tractor that may have been forgotten, 'Minneapolis-Moline,’ said Bailey. “The Midwest farming community is the backbone of our agriculture industry, and I think this song will resonate with the beauty and the struggle of life on the farm."

Indiana native, Ron Stewart, of The Boxcars and Seldom Scene fame, provided exceptional fiddle and banjo work and mixed and mastered the single. Also joining Bailey on this track is Brandon Kyle on bass, Wyatt Wood on guitar and tenor vocals, and Chandler Beavers on mandolin. This song was recorded at Homestead Studio by Caleb Cox, showcasing a collaboration of talented musicians.

"Being a Hoosier myself, this song tells exactly how it is in the farming communities throughout the state. Many hardships, but also, a great way of life. This song tells it from the seat of the family's tractor, the 'Minneapolis-Moline," said Tony Holt, Wildwood Valley Boys.

Bailey's talents extend beyond singing, songwriting, playing guitar, and leading a band. He recently announced the formation of a brand new bluegrass festival he is producing called No Bull…Just Bluegrass Festival, to be held in July 2025 at the Rockingham County Fairgrounds in Harrisonburg, Virginia.

“Minneapolis-Moline” is now available at all major outlets and to radio programmers at Get It Played, Turnberry Records, and Hope River Entertainment.

Two New Singles Available for Streaming or Purchasing 

Digital Release:
 New Singles from 
Caleb Bailey & Paine’s Run on Turnberry Records 

Grottoes, Va. (July 14, 2023) – Turnberry Records proudly announces two new singles from Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run. The band’s new Bluegrass music single "Pride of Appalachia" and the Bluegrass Gospel single "Hard Working Preacher Man" are available for streaming and purchasing at all major outlets. 

"Pride of Appalachia" was written by singer-songwriter Caleb Bailey who is a direct descendant of the Dean family who was extracted from the Blue Ridge Mountains, now the Skyline Drive National Park. The song tells of some fundamental elements of the Appalachian spirit: mining, moonshining, strength, family, religion, and dialect. Bailey stated, "Pride of Appalachia’ is a song that I wanted to write for the rest of the world to feel what it was like to be Appalachian. The Cherokee and various other Native Americans, as well as the Scotch-Irish immigrants, had such an influence over the dialect and the culture, and I wanted people to be able to live in Appalachia through song."

“Pride of Appalachia” was recorded at Homestead Studio in La Plata, MD and mixed and mastered by Caleb Cox. Featured on the tune are Caleb Bailey on lead vocal and guitar; Wyatt Wood on guitar and tenor vocal; Chandler Beavers on mandolin; Brandon Kyle on bass; Merl Johnson on fiddle; Rob Slusser on banjo; and guest Chad Darou on Dobro and baritone vocals. 

"Hard Working Country Preacher Man" was penned by Mark "Brink" Brinkman, Terry Foust, and Dave Evans and tells the tale of bygone days and barn revivals in the south’s Bible belt in Georgia. The descriptive and distinct imagery captivates you from the beginning to the end of the song. "It was such an honor to be able to record one of Brink’s songs. Having a 5-time IBMA nominee for Songwriter of the Year pitch you a song is special, but to be able to cut it and have it as the debut gospel release for this project, is truly an honor. We got a great studio cut, and I'm certain our fans will be enjoying this song for quite some time.”

Brinkmann said, "I co-wrote ‘Hard Working Country Preacher Man’ with my good friends and great songwriters, Mike Evans and Terry Foust. We wanted to capture the life of one of the many people that worked the farm during the week and preached God's Word on the weekend, as these rural areas couldn't afford full-time preachers. Caleb Bailey & Paine's Run really bring our song to life!"

Joining Caleb Bailey on "Hard Working Country Preacher Man" are Wyatt Wood on guitar and tenor; Chandler Beavers on mandolin; Rob Slusser on banjo; Brandon Kyle on bass; and Merl Johnson on fiddle. The song was mixed and mastered by Caleb Cox at Homestead Studio in La Plata, Maryland.

Caleb Bailey & Paine’s Run sign record deal with Turnberry Records 

Turnberry Records is pleased to announce that bluegrass group Caleb Bailey & Paine’s Run has been added to the label’s impressive and growing roster of recording artists. The 6-piece ensemble hailing from Virginia has ranked on various charts, including holding the #1 slot on the Bluegrass Today Grassicana chart.

The outfit is headed by singer, songwriter, and guitarist Caleb Bailey, who created for himself a successful solo career, followed in 2021 by the creation of the full 6-member lineup of his current band. His solo record Poplar & Pine was a success, featuring Bailey’s first #1 song, “Grim Reaper.” More recently, Caleb Bailey and Paine’s Run garnered attention with the song “Camille,” which tells the story of how that 1969 tempest devastated Nelson County, Virginia.

Bailey is already preparing for his initial one-record, a one-year deal inked with the increasingly popular label. He said he expects his first releases through Turnberry will consist of singles, dropping sometime during the spring, with the full album releasing later in 2023.

Bailey said he is delighted to be added to the Turnberry roster and believes his group will bring benefits to the label as well.

“We’re a traditional bluegrass band that offers a unique sound that we own,” he explained, assuring that listeners won’t find covers on his records. He likens covers to trying to recreate masterpieces. “If you’re a painter, you won’t go out and try to re-paint the Mona Lisa,” he said. “That’s just not original.”

According to Bailey, “Turnberry just seems to be the ‘happening’ place to be.” Bailey said he looks forward to working alongside other quality Turnberry artists, including David Stewart, Greg Blake, and Rebekah Speer.

“We’re now booking for 2023,” Bailey said, “and we want to be part of spearheading the next chapter for Turnberry.”

Turnberry Records and Management look forward to this new relationship with the talented group Caleb Bailey & Paine’s Run. The label is a division of The Bluegrass Standard Magazine, which provides in-depth interviews with both the stars--and the up-and-coming new artists--in the worlds of bluegrass, country, Americana, and folk.

I wrote this song on Christmas Day in 2020 while working on shift as a professional fireman while others were home unwrapping gifts; between calls, I was able to unwrap this gospel story to tell the world about the man who built this spectacle of a building,” said Bailey. 

“Hiram Built the Temple” includes the talents of Caleb Bailey on lead vocal and guitar, Joseph Showalter on tenor vocal and fiddle, Chandler Beavers on baritone vocal and mandolin, Wyatt Wood on guitar, Brandon Kyle on bass, and Rob Slusser on bass vocal and banjo.

Album Release Coincides with Anniversary of the 1969 Hurricane Camille 
That Devastated Nelson County, Virginia 

Grottoes, Va. (August 2, 2022) – Caleb Bailey is proud to announce his new album, Camille will release on August 19, 2022. Caleb Bailey & Paine’s Run will hold an Album Release Concert at the Nelson County Historical Society in Lovingston, Virginia, on the same day. 

The title track, “Camille,” was written by Caleb Bailey and is based on the 1969 Hurricane Camille, which ranks as the second most intense hurricane to strike the continental United States, including its impact in Nelson County, Virginia. 

Bailey worked with The Nelson County Historical Society, who provided access to countless images of the devastation from 1969 for the band to include in their new “Camille” music video edited by Fletcher’s Devine Creations. The video debuted on The Bluegrass Standard Magazine’s Top 15 Video Chart for July 2022. 

The Nelson County Historical Society was so intrigued by the song and album that they agreed to host the band’s album release concert on August 19, 2022, at 7:30 p.m. at The Nelson Center in Lovingston, Virginia. That is the exact date that Hurricane Camille hit Nelson County in 1969.  The band will give back to the community by donating all proceeds from the ticket sales to The Nelson County Historical Society. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased at the door. 

The album Camille includes nine new original songs by Caleb Bailey and the instrumental “Cobalt Rag” written by band member Rob Slusser with assistance from Chase Burley-Smith. 

Mason Via (Old Crow Medicine Show, Top 40 finalist on American Idol) heard the new album and complimented Caleb’s songwriting talents saying, “These songs are so interesting – really unique. It’s hard to find that in the lyrical content of new bluegrass music these days.” 

Bailey’s impressive songwriting talents are evident from the success of his debut album, Poplar & Pine, which resulted in a #1 for the song “Grim Reaper.” The popular album featured other singles that also charted on Bluegrass Today’s Grassicana and Gospels charts. In addition, Poplar & Pine reached #6 on AirPlay Direct’s Top 50 Bluegrass Album Chart.

New Single: "Steele and Stone" 

Singer-Songwriter, guitarist, and band leader Caleb Bailey is proud to announce today’s new bluegrass single, “Steele and Stone.” Bailey explained the word “Steele” is a family name and is a play on words on this hot new single. 

“Steele and Stone’ has the feel of old mountain music, with the fiddle/banjo intro. We wanted this song to capture the early 1900s time period. The crowds at our live performances always enjoy this song, so we hope the new listeners will as well,” said Bailey. 

“Steele and Stone” comes on the heels of his other strong single, “Camille,” which also includes a music video release. The video includes images donated by The Nelson County Historical Society in Lovingston, Virginia, of the devastating aftermath in Nelson County of Hurricane Camille in 1969.
