Dawayne Bailey is an American guitarist who has toured and recorded with Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band and Chicago.
Bailey was born and raised in Manhattan, Kansas. While still attending high school, he created the regionally-known band Rathbone. In 1972, Bailey and Rathbone moved to Los Angeles to foster their musical career.

[edit] 1980 – 1995
Bailey joined Gerard McMahon's band and recorded No Looking Back on Full Moon/Warner Brothers which was released in 1983. While playing live shows with McMahon's band, Bailey was requested by Bob Seger's office to fly to Detroit and audition for Seger & The Silver Bullet Band.
Bailey played lead guitar on Seger's The Distance tour, recorded Seger's Like a Rock album and performed in several videos.
Bailey then formed his own band called Private Parts and recorded their debut album in 1986 called Dancing The Marmara. It was during this time that Bailey's former band mate Jason Scheff called him to audition for the legendary Chicago.
Bailey toured and recorded with Chicago from July 1986 to January 1995, and was a significant contributor to their unreleased album Stone of Sisyphus. He wrote the title track for that album, as well as another track called "Get On This."
The track "Get on This" will not be included on the June 2008 Rhino Records' release of Stone of Sisyphus. The reason for this omission is unclear. Fans speculate that it was due to his acrimonious departure from the band.
[edit] 1996 – present
After Chicago, Bailey remained in Los Angeles and went on to perform and record with various original projects with Shayna, Belly Puddle (featuring Jason Scheff's brother Lauren Scheff) and Bailey's own Goblin Girl Records releases. Bailey then toured and recorded with French legend Veronique Sanson in 1998 and 1999.
In October, 2006, Bailey released his latest studio album, Joyland, on his Goblin Girl label. He performed nearly all of the instrumentation and vocals, as well as assuming the majority of production duties.
