It is one of the lessons you learn in Sunday school. When the Lord closes one door, he opens another one. A Cramerton, North Carolina student invited to massive music festival after getting kicked out of Christian School.

North Carolina Student Invited To Perform At Massive Festival

Bailey Griggs has gained national support after being uninvited back for her senior year at Cramerton Christian Academy. According to our source, Channel 9 in Charlotte, she was kicked out of high school before her senior year. Their reported reason? Bailey is a vocal artist and she was performing in venues that served alcohol. She would sing in places like Amos' Southend and Goldie's Live Bar and Restaurant. Both, great places in my opinion.

When One Door Closes, Another One Opens

Bailey seemed to be on her way until her mother received a letter. In it they were informed that the school was no longer a "fit" for Bailey's goals. Oh man, this is going to make a great country song one day. Bailey has now been invited to sing on a much much MUCH bigger stage.

Field and Stream Music Festival

Bailey has been invited to sing at the Field and Stream Music Festival in Winnsboro, South Carolina. And you may have heard of some of the others in the lineup. Does the name Eric Church ring a bell? How about Lainey Wilson and Lynyrd Skynyrd ? Yeah, there will be some huge artists there. Griggs released a statement published in wsoctv.com, that she “deeply appreciates the community for spreading her story.”
