I am proud to say that I am known for my versatility in a wide range of genres. I perform jazz, folk and classical music at a variety of venues around the Southwest. I am the founder of the Bailey Barnes Jazz Duo, which performs at venues around the Southwest. In January, 2023 I co-founded Opera on the Menu, an opera dinner theater in Albuquerque New Mexico, and performs with the company as a soprano soloist. I have been featured as a soprano soloist in recitals and productions with Fort Lewis College, the University of New Mexico, 3rd Avenue Arts, and performs as a soprano soloist with St. Francis Episcopal Church Rio Rancho, First Congregational United Church of Christ Albuquerque and First Church of Christ Scientist Albuquerque. My operatic roles include Cendrillon in Pauline Viardot’s Cendrillon, Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro, Gianetta in L’Elisir d’amore, Papagena in Die Zauberflöte, Amahl in Amahl and the Night Visitors, and Suor Genovieffa in Suor Angelica.

I live in Grand Junction, Colorado and teach voice and music business in my voice studio online and in person.

I live with my husband and our beloved dog, Alma, in our home along the Colorado River Trail. I love to read, watch television and movies that inspire me, be outside, eat ice cream, have drinks with friends, play ukulele and grow plants.
