THE ONLY BAY PERFORMS AT NEW YORK CITY FAMED APOLLO THEATER
Our own 9 year old "The Only Bay" performed this week at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem.
The Only Bay is one of the very select few young performing at the famed theaters history.
NYC native Bay Melnick Virgolino, lead rock and blues guitarist/vocalist for The Only Bay, became obsessed with rock and blues at age 2, picked up his first guitar at 4, and played his first live concert the day he turned 7.

At 8 yo he headlined at the legendary The Bitter End, rocked out at international festivals in 3 countries, became a Michael Kelly Guitar and Samson Tech artist, and was featured by WNYC for his philanthropic work with Kids Rock for Kids, performing to raise money for children in need at home and abroad.
His 9th year found him taking part in a super group collab in January with artists Yoyoka Soma, Charlotte Milstein, Vinya Chhabra, Ella Milstein, and Ellen Alaverdyan, as well as performing with his band in 6 cities, including ATX during SXSW, and was honored to have been invited to play on stage with both the 15 yo phenom Taj Farrant and the legend of all legends–Buddy Guy. In October 2024, Bay was honored to be named the youngest PRS Guitars Pulse Artist. He is busy at work on his first album.
