Blaine Bailey

Blaine Bailey is a Native American country music artist, songwriter, and performer from Oklahoma and a citizen of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. His music fuses Red Dirt and Americana sounds with Indigenous storytelling and lived experience. Blaine’s work celebrates Native identity while calling for cultural equity and justice. His song “Cigarettes and Roses” was featured in FX’s tv show Reservation Dogs, and his single “T-Shirt” confronts cultural appropriation, using music as advocacy. Blaine uplifts Native-led productions by collaborating with Indigenous musicians, videographers, designers, and artists to ensure cultural authenticity and generate economic opportunities within Native communities. His upcoming crowd-sourced “T-Shirt” music video invites all federally recognized tribes to submit footage showcasing Indigenous resilience, forming a unified message: “We Are Still Here.” Blaine performs across the U.S., participates in industry panels like AmericanaFest, and helps expand space for Native artists through collaboration, cultural storytelling, and powerful live performances.
