Kirk Baxley

Baxley received word, after many check-ups, that he had a polyp and a hemorrhage on his left vocal chord. Baxley finished the production of the album "The Pain We Bring" and opted for Laser vocal surgery. Baxley underwent speech therapy and vocal therapy for six months and began tour dates. Baxley did not feel the same vocally and struggled through a 50 date radio tour. Baxley played one last show with his band at Johnny's Outback in Salado, Texas, with Pat Green on August 5, 2017. On stage that night, Baxley stated "It's been an incredible Journey. After my vocal surgery I don't feel the same and I think it's time to hang it up. God Bless you guys and I'm very thankful for your support."

During this four year period, Baxley toured regionally and nationally and had a rotating cast of musicians, releasing three albums. Baxley returned to his roots with honest song-writing matched up with a raw, gospel influenced voice. On his first two EPs during this time, Baxkey wrote and recorded with his band and tracked those albums at EMP Studios with producer/engineer Tycer Whaley in Fort Worth, Texas. In 2016, with the help of his fan base, Baxkey and his management at the time Vision Entertainment, were able to raise over twenty thousand dollars to help release "The Pain We Bring." The album was produced by Chad Mauldin and recorded at Kiepersol Studios in Bullard,Texas. In 2016, the Kirk Baxley band performed and received "Best Country Band of the year" award in Waco, Texas at the MACT Groovy Award Ceremony. In early May 2017 the band toured with Danny Worsnop's (Asking Alexandria) side prodject.

Formed in 2007, the band toured regionally and on a national level developing a devoted fan base. In late 2007, the band signed a management deal with Jeff Peters of Maple Jam Music Group out of Los Angeles, CA, and continued to tour. In 2009 MA recorded a studio album produced by David Castell titled "Save The Fallen." The album included twelve studio tracks and a live performance track of the song "Amaze Me" from the included live performance DVD entitled "An Evening With Mothers Anthem." In late 2009, while touring through Portland, OR the band recorded a five song demo with singer/song writer/producer Rob Daiker. After touring "Save The Fallen" nationally in 2011 MA recorded a new EP "The Death Of Me" with producer Dwight Baker that was never released..

During the summer of 2006 Greatness In Tragedy broke up so that members of the group could "pursue other things" (sic).

Unveiled started playing together in 1997. They released one cassette tape entitled "Blush" recorded and produced by Baxley's uncle Richard Schrimscher, and one self titled cd/album in 2000. They toured regionally playing youth events, youth rallies, Church services, etc... Baxley was one of the two singers in the band. Also in the band, was Drummer James Culpepper of the band Flyleaf. Other members were Aaron Carder, Benny Love, Brad Johnson, and Robert "Bob-O" Cabla.
