Hayseed Dixie - 'Drinking & Cheating'

Hayseed Dixie is an American bluegrass group whose Glasgow show at St Luke's is titled 'Drinking & Cheating'. The band builds its sound on bluegrass treatments of rock songs.

Bluegrass, a form of acoustic string music rooted in the southern United States, gives Hayseed Dixie its basic sound. The group was formed in 2000 and has been active since 2001. Its first album, A Hillbilly Tribute to AC/DC (2001), applies a bluegrass treatment to songs by the Australian rock band AC/DC, and the band's label is Dualtone Records.

This Glasgow evening, titled 'Drinking & Cheating', takes place at St Luke's, which hosts concerts and shows in the city. The music sits in pop, rock and indie territory, which matches a band whose arrangements start from rock songs. It suits listeners interested in rock material reworked in a bluegrass style.
