New country star on the rise Bailey Zimmerman got some sage wisdom from one of country's biggest superstars.  It turns out I got similar advice from a co worker many years ago and it has worked for me so far.  Here is the great career advice to Bailey Zimmerman from Morgan Wallen.

Bailey says Morgan told him to basically, show up.  Morgan has only ever canceled one show in his career and told Bailey to play even if he isn't feeling his best.  Fans pay to see you so show up.

What's the old adage, half of success is simply showing up even if you don't feel like it.  Bailey received the 2023 CMT Breakthrough male video of the year nomination and has a hit song on the radio right now called "Rock and A Hard Place".

A former radio partner of mine told me when I first got started, "show up and if you run out of something to say people would probably rather hear a hit song than your voice".  That advice has kept me humble and consistently employed:)  To learn more about the great career advice to Bailey Zimmerman from Morgan Wallen get details right here from musicmayhemmagazine.
