Bailey Tomkinson & The Locals
Raised in St Ives, Cornwall, Coastal Cowgirl Bailey Tomkinson blends sun-drenched ‘70s Laurel Canyon folk-rock with stadium-sized ’80s pop choruses, recently being called the UK’s answer to ‘Daisy Jones & The Six,’ and earning comparisons to Stevie Nicks. Bailey first had nationwide recognition in 2020 when her single ‘I Wish It Didn’t End Like This’ shot to #1 on the charts. In 2021 she hit #1 again, and her EP California Fire sparked a soldout UK tour and festival slots at Boardmasters, Wilderness & The Great Escape. – “Like a young Taylor Swift & Emmylou Harris” – Brad Paisley on BBC2
