Rhythm & blues, jazz, and gospel recording artist, Rene Bailey uses her vocal clarity to sell the blues with genuine feeling. Combining gospel, jazz, and rhythm & blues, she has performed with notable artists such as Louis Armstrong, B.B. King, Aretha Franklin, Dave Brubeck, Ruth Brown, Paul Anka, and Sam Cooke, among others. For many years, Bailey has become known and beloved as the front woman for the six-piece traditional Dixieland swing ensemble, The Saints of Swing.

The transition from gospel to nightclub work came naturally, and Rene became the featured vocalist at the legendary Peg Leg Bates Country Club in Kerhonkson, NY for two decades....
