Hayseed Dixie Biography

Hayseed Dixie is an American band described as "A Hillbilly tribute to AC/DC." The band performs cover versions of hard rock songs in a style that is a cross between bluegrass and rock music, which some have termed rockgrass. The band's name is a play on the name AC/DC. Claiming to hail from the fictional Deer Lick Holler, Appalachia, the band has toured since 2001.  Kerosene Brothers is the band's alter-ego project; they released the album Choose Your Own Title under that name. In 2005 they played at Glastonbury and the Cambridge Folk Festival. In September 2005 they held their own festival Loopallu in Ullapool, Scotland, which has become an annual event. In June 2007 they appeared on the opening day of the Download Festival and were scheduled to play at the Roskilde Festival and the Wickerman Festival in July 2007.  BBC Radio 2's Jeremy Vine is a fan of their work and infrequently plays a tune by the band. The group recorded the "When you wanna hear great music..." jingle for his show.
