Biography of The David Thomas Bailey Trio
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
David Thomas Bailey was born in Seattle, Washington to a
musical family. His father, a working drummer, instilled a love for
music and developed his basic musical skills. When David was
still young, the Bailey family moved to Southwest Denver, where
they still live today. David's first instrument was the alto
saxophone, but fell in love with the guitar at age 11. In High
School, David played in local rock groups. In his junior year,
David worked fast food jobs to pay for his jazz guitar lessons with
Ray Biocco at Brentwood Music. David earned a Bachelors
Degree from University of Colorado in Jazz and Commercial
Guitar, his teachers included Ron Miles, Fred Hess, and Paul
Musso. After college, David began playing the seven-string guitar
emulating a jazz trio on a single instrument: balancing grooving
basslines, poignent chords, and singing melody. David studied
this style with mentors Charlie Hunter and Howard Alden. Now in
his last year of graduate study earning a Master of Music in Jazz
Studies degree at the University of Northern Colorado, David's
work on the seven string is his artistic focus under the instruction
of Matt Fuller and Dale Bruning. David has also studied with
Jonathon Kreisberg.
David spends his free time with his wife of nine-years and two
sons, plays bass in a rock band called Synergy with his dad, and
teaches guitar to 30 awesome students at the Olde Town Pickin'
Parlor in Arvada.
