George Bailey Debut EP Launch + Support

About this event

---

The George Bailey Band are a high-energy 3-piece band from Teesside fusing electric alt-rock, soulful folk, and raw, honest songwriting. After spending over 10 years crafting his sound, George Bailey brings his music to you with a band that lives and breathes every note - explosive one minute, stripped back the next, you'll leave feeling uplifted and connected through the band's energised live performance. Having performed a headline show at The Georgian Theatre and gained airplay on BBC Introducing North East of their new single 'On My Lips', the George Bailey Band are ones to watch in 2026.  Indie-rockers Nice Guy are no stranger to the Teesside music scene having been gigging since 2018 and recording and releasing their original tracks through local label, Goosed Records. Having supported the likes of Avalanche Party and played at Stockton Calling, Nice Guy are ready to bring their alternative indie sound to ARC.  Alex Lyons will be opening the show with her beautiful blend of acoustic folk pop, enchantingly pure voice and heartfelt lyrics. The Teesside singer-songwriter takes influence from the greats of the 60s & 70s including Carole King and Joni Mitchell and has supported the likes of Joe Hammill here at ARC, and Cattle & Cane, and we are excited to welcome her back to the stage.
