As a teenager she started performing at local coffeehouses and school functions, playing acoustic guitar and singing folk music. Baillie met fellow singer and guitarist Michael Bonagura, in 1973, in Deleware on a blind date, after a friend had given him a tape featuring Baillie's voice --and the two hit it off both personally and musically; playing clubs together on the East Coast and eventually married. In 1982, Baillie and Bonagura relocated to Nashville after Baillie had landed some gigs singing backup on country sessions in Music City; Kathie, Michael and friend Alan LaBeouf played a number of live shows, as Bittersweet, and came to the attention of RCA Records, who signed the group to a recording contract in 1985 and changed their name to Baillie and the Boys.
