Big Benny BaileyBig Benny Bailey is Ben Pierce and Shamir Bailey. They met in a vegan diner in 2016, though neither is vegan. Formed and based in South Philadelphia, they joined forces after a shared feeling of ennui around modern music. Both Benny and Bailey collectively served time in bands that relied on drum kits and guitar amps, and the two were desperate to simplify. Big Benny Bailey became a vehicle for the duo to unplug, unwind, and connect to music at its purest form. Together, the two crafted an organic sound with traces of bluegrass, folk, and country.
