Legend has it that way back in 2001, Mr. Barley Scotch (Hayseed Dixie's cheekily-monikered frontman) was blessed with a musical epiphany that he thought would change the lives of hillbillies everywhere forever. He was struck by the realization that Hank Williams' infamous Lost Highway and AC/DC's Highway To Hell might in fact be the very same road. And at that moment, a musical fusion of enormous cultural significance took place. It was, he claims, as if the good Lord Himself had proclaimed, Let There Be Rockgrass!

Ever since, the blending of hard rock and cotton-pickin' bluegrass has been Hayseed Dixie's raison d'être. From their debut album, A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC and the 13 albums that have followed; to their headlining performances at festivals across the world (they have the peculiar accolade of being the only band to have headlined Download and the Cambridge Folk Festival in the same year), Hayseed Dixie have converted thousands of rockers to the delights of bluegrass.

Come prepared for one heck of a hoe down!
