Who is Bailey Zimmerman?

At just 24 years old, Bailey Zimmerman has quickly established himself as a standout in the country music scene. His debut full-length album, “Religiously. The Album” (2023), propelled him into the spotlight, producing several top 10 hits. Songs like “Rock and a Hard Place,” “Religiously,” “Where It Ends,” “Fall in Love,” and “Holy Smokes” have resonated with fans across the country. Zimmerman currently boasts an impressive 10.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

His New to Country Tour marks a significant milestone in his career, and the CMAC performance will be his only stop in New York state during the tour. Zimmerman previously captivated fans at the Erie County Fair in 2023 and opened for country powerhouses like Kane Brown and Morgan Wallen in 2024.

What to Expect at CMAC

Located on the Finger Lakes Community College campus, CMAC is renowned for offering a top-tier outdoor concert experience. The venue permits fans to bring outside chairs and blankets for lawn seating, providing a laid-back atmosphere to enjoy live music under the summer sky.

However, this policy contrasts with recent restrictions at other popular Upstate New York amphitheaters. Live Nation venues like the Broadview Stage at SPAC (Saratoga Performing Arts Center), the Empower Federal Credit Union Amphitheater at Lakeview (Syracuse), and the Darien Lake Amphitheater (Buffalo) no longer allow fans to bring personal lawn chairs. Instead, limited chair rentals are available for a fee.

CMAC’s more flexible policy enhances its appeal for concertgoers seeking comfort during performances.

CMAC’s Growing 2025 Lineup

Zimmerman’s concert adds to CMAC’s already exciting 2025 summer schedule, which features some of the biggest names in country music:

• May 22 & 23 – Kane Brown
• June 12 – Megan Moroney

Zimmerman’s August performance promises to be a highlight of the summer, attracting both die-hard country fans and those looking to discover the next big thing in the genre.

Why You Shouldn’t Miss This Show

Bailey Zimmerman’s rapid ascent in the country music industry signals that this could be a breakout year for the young artist. His emotionally driven lyrics, signature sound, and high-energy performances have earned him comparisons to country superstars like Morgan Wallen. Fans attending the CMAC show will not only witness a rising talent but also experience what could be one of the most memorable concerts of the summer.

Mark your calendars for August 9 and get ready for a night of unforgettable country music at CMAC.
