Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, Hayseed Dixie burst onto the music scene in 2000 with their debut album, A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC. The band’s name itself is a playful nod to the iconic rock band AC/DC, and their music is just as electrifying. Over the years, they’ve carved out a niche for themselves with their self-styled genre, “rockgrass”—a high-energy fusion of hard rock and bluegrass.
Hayseed Dixie is known for their bluegrass-infused covers of classic rock anthems, reimagining hits from bands like Queen, Motorhead, and, of course, AC/DC. But they’re not just about covers; their original songs are packed with humor, satire, and a touch of absurdity, making their live shows a rollercoaster of emotions and entertainment.
The band’s lineup includes:
John Wheeler (Barley Scotch): Vocals, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and keys.
Hippy Joe Hymas: Mandolin and guitar.
Jake “Bakesnake” Byers: Bass.
Richard Collins: Banjo.
With over 16 studio albums and more than 1,500 live performances across 33 countries, Hayseed Dixie has proven time and again that they’re a force to be reckoned with. Their live shows are a celebration of music, humor, and sheer talent, guaranteed to leave you grinning from ear to ear.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan or a curious newcomer, Hayseed Dixie’s performance at ARENA promises to be a night of foot-stomping, hand-clapping, and unforgettable fun. Their ability to blend the raw energy of rock with the soulful twang of bluegrass is nothing short of magical.
