We’ve heard from several sources that Cap Baily is looking hard for songs.

He’s looking for what’s become known as bro-country, Florida-GA line being the poster child. Bring yourself up to speed here” Cap Bailey On Facebook but submissions have to be via an established music publisher to his producer at Phivestar.

Another method that can work is to get your song to a band member after a Cap performance in your area.
