<TITLE>: Baillie and the Boys; Booking, tour, AGENCY: Jeff Davis Unicorn One Management & Talent Agency

Kathie Baillie was born in Morristown, NJ, and spent most of her childhood in Orange, CT. As a teenager she started performing at local coffeehouses and school functions, playing acoustic guitar and singing folk music. Baillie met fellow singer and guitarist Michael Bonagura, in 1973, in Deleware on a blind date, after a friend had given him a tape featuring Baillie's voice --and the two hit it off both personally and musically; playing clubs together on the East Coast and eventually married. In 1982, Baillie and Bonagura relocated to Nashville after Baillie had landed some gigs singing backup on country sessions in Music City; Kathie, Michael and friend Alan LaBeouf played a number of live shows, as Bittersweet, and came to the attention of RCA Records, who signed the group to a recording contract in 1985 and changed their name to Baillie and the Boys. The group's first single was released in 1986; "Oh Heart" became a hit, and Baillie and the Boys became a consistent presence on country radio and at festivals, fairs and theaters for more then a decade. Kathie & Michael through 2024 are celebrating more than 30 years of the band's signing with RCA Records,
writing and recording their own critically acclaimed

Billboard hits and Grammy nominated acoustic country roots music as well as numerous hits by other artists, including the Marie Osmond tune, "There's No Stopping Your Heart," (which reached the top of Billboard Magazine's Hot Country Singles Chart.) , 3 albums produced 10 straight top 20 singles. 7 of which reached the
Top 10 in the U.S. & 5 in Canada including:
