TESTIMONIALS “Dressler's Restaurants have had the pleasure of working with Brad Bailey for three years. Brad is an incredibly talented musician who we have relied upon more than any other act. He seems to have other talented musicians gravitate towards him as well which has led to some really impressive trios. The Metlive Stage at the Metropolitan Complex is a large space that caters to a varied group of people. Brad has always read the crowd well and received nothing but praise from our patrons. Brad is a consummate professional and we would be happy to provide any recommendation needed.” Tim (General Manager, Dressler’s Restaurant, Charlotte, NC) "Brad Bailey was the perfect addition to Charlotte magazine's annual Top Doctors party.
