Larry Bailey grew up in a musical family in Zanesville, Ohio: his father played guitar, and Larry, along with his 11 brothers and sisters would sit around and sing country and gospel songs. Larry and his brothers formed a rock and country music band As youngsters, playing together into their teen years. Raised as a guitar player, he was so dedicated to his music ( and still is ) That he learned how to sing and to play bass and drums. And when Larry quit high school to join a road band, it was as a Drummer. He traveled across the mid west off and on until he was 22 years old, soaking up everything he could about the music Business.

In 1986 he moved to Phoenix AZ, and was hired by an all-girl country band in Apache Junction called “Country Sunshine” Where he played lead guitar. When he left the band in 1987, it was to join a band called “Crossfire”. The band split up four years later and Larry went on with the band “One Street Over”, one of the hottest country-rock bands in the east valley for quite a While. Larry left this band in 1994 to spend more time with his family. He worked as a phone tech for a software company for about six months until he decided that he missed the music business. So he started playing around town again.

Eventually he was hired as the drummer for the “Pat James Band” where he worked four nights a week thru 1999. Then Larry Moved his family back to Zanesville, Ohio for a year and a half where he worked construction for a while, and played music on the weekends with the Smith Brothers, who he had played with on the road as a kid. Missing the Arizona skies, Larry brought His family back to the valley, and actually got his job back with the “Pat James Band” at the Buffalo Chip Saloon in Cave Creek.

Since then Pat James decided to move on and do other things, so Larry, along with Randy Guinn, and Danny Sneed hired Curt Reid On guitar, re-named the band “PickO’TheLitter” and continue to work at the Buffalo Chip Saloon five nights a week.
