A mixture of Hynde, right after she was a Pretender, and Crow in her early down-tempo years. Darby's cool and sultry voice often emulates these influences with a more sensual lilt, grabbing hold of Eurydice's songs and guiding them to the sweet spots.

Details:
Darby Bailey, actress, musician and writer, grew up listening to The Beatles, Barbra, Beethoven and Glen Miller.

Currently sequestered in the studio producing her first solo CD (to be released Summer 2008), Ms. Bailey's first set of songs will combine creamy vocals, addictive guitar hooks, big top orchestral sounds and intimate songwriting.

The Eurydice album is from her foray into live music as co-writer and singer/keyboardist for the rock band Eurydice, which toured the Rocky Mountain region before recording this LP and disbanding.

Darby Bailey's story starts out like many young entertainers. She started playing piano at four; with her childhood friends to create song and dance numbers at seven; in orchestras, bands, and singing groups throughout her teen and college years.

Darby's Mother is a school band teacher and drummer. Darby's father was raised by a traveling movie-salesman from the 1930's. They all knew how to farm and sing at a campfire. Her immediate family consists of nine people, enough for a small circus.

And just like the circus, Darby's music might have an extra crash or a beat here and there. But once you get used to tilting your head to the left three times on the last bar of the verse, you'll be keen on Darby Bailey's fine-grained, exotic pastel rock-pop.
