A festival in Florida is fast-approaching, and Bailey Zimmerman is very excited. The young country music artist has been busy working in his studio at home in Nashville, Tennessee, listening to demos whilst keeping an eye on his schedule. ‘Florida,’ he’s thinking. ‘I wonder if I could get some golf in at Michael Jordan’s place.’
The 25-year-old is “addicted to golf”. When he’s not on stage, he’s on a golf course. He’s gone from living in a trailer with his mum in a small town in Illinois to one of America’s fastest growing stars, in rapid time. He might have a reputation as a party animal, but golf is his sanctuary, a place where he can unwind with his bandmates between (and during) tours.
