As CMA Fest takes over Nashville this week, rising country star Bailey Zimmerman is ready to showcase his talent in front of an enthusiastic audience of around 60,000 fans. Expressing his excitement, he remarked, “It’s going to be insane.”
Amidst preparing for his performance, Zimmerman also made headlines by taking a shift at the iconic chicken restaurant, Raising Cane’s, where he was seen working the register at its flagship location in Nashville. This unexpected appearance demonstrates Zimmerman’s connection to his roots and his playful spirit.
Bailey Zimmerman is also generating buzz with the upcoming release of his album, “Different Night Same Rodeo.” He recently shared his excitement about collaborating with the renowned Luke Combs on the new track “Backup Plan.” Zimmerman’s initial surprise at Combs’ willingness to work together turned into friendship, as he explained, “Working with Luke was a dream come true… Our song is in the top 20 on the radio and it’s a dream come true – I’m so grateful.”
In addition to “Backup Plan,” Zimmerman plans to release a new song titled “Comin’ In Cold” this Friday. This track takes a different approach than his previous music, dealing with themes of chasing a girl who is not good for him. He candidly shared, “It’s about this girl that I shouldn’t be chasing. I’m chasing red flags and I’m addicted to it.” Drawing inspiration from his experiences, Zimmerman describes the song as a reflection of his life over the last couple of years, showcasing a blend of maturity and youthful longing.
As he performs at CMA Fest, collaborates with Combs, and releases new music, Bailey Zimmerman is making strides in carving out his place in the country music scene. His journey seems promising, and fans are eager to see what the future holds for this talented artist.
