We’re back with Bailey Zimmerman for his third time in the Center Stage spotlight, and boy is there’s a lot to catch up on. Since his last visit, Bailey’s life has been a whirlwind full of nearly sold-out tours, writing his most personal album yet, Different Night, Same Rodeo, and becoming a dog dad again.
