From her humble beginnings of being the “Tally Ho Baby” found in a cardboard box in West Virginia to the present day of being a Singer, Writer, Producer and Booking Agent based in Chicago, Barb is truly blessed and offers her talent to entertain audiences with a variety of music. Barb Bailey has also created 16 different shows that she is able to perform in addition to “Sinatra & Friends” which she is looking forward to sharing at the new Hollywood Casino Joliet.
Her Executive Producer, Barry Edwards (formerly of Dick Clark Productions & WBBM/CBS Radio) is part of Barb’s professional team along with keyboard, drums and bass provided by Bobby Schiff, John Scoville & Dick Bunn. This powerhouse entertainment team will provide a magical evening of memories and music.
“Barb’s shows all consist of personal stories that set up the next songs. They are funny and heartfelt. She has a penchant for making the audience feel like they are in her living room – no matter how large the venue. They end up falling in love with her and go home feeling like they know her. They can’t wait to see her again – and we can’t wait to have her back either. Barb is a joy and very special.” -Olya Matic Dailey – Eastgate Cafe Owner/Proprietor

Los Angeles, CA, November 10, 2025 –(CarryOnHarry.com)– LA-based R&B/Soul and Hip Hop artist Jules the Lion returns with “Love After Love,” a soulful hip-hop ballad that captures the spark of finding love again after heartbreak. Produced, mixed, and mastered by award-winning musician Tom Goss, the track blends nostalgic soul textures with timeless lyricism — the kind of sound that makes you remember how love is supposed to feel.
“When I met the girl who healed my heart, I had to write her this song,” says Jules. “Love After Love is for anyone who’s ever thought they’d never find that feeling again — until they did.”
As the title track of Jules the Lion’s forthcoming EP, Love After Love charts the artist’s journey from heartbreak to wholeness. Across clever bars and velvety vocals, Jules blends sensuality, spirituality, and soul with the honesty of modern hip hop.
Known as “the pansexual sonic lovechild of Marvin Gaye and Ms. Lauryn Hill,” Jules the Lion brings a fresh, inclusive voice to the R&B landscape, celebrating love in all its forms and frequencies.
“Love After Love” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
