Tennessee rock grass is heading to the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth next week in the shape of the good ‘ol Hayseed Dixie.

Hayseed Dixie began in the summer of 2000 in the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler, deep in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee USA. In this area, which was completely isolated from outside cultural and musical influence, the boys grew up playing the traditional music of their forefathers on banjo, fiddle, mandolin, acoustic guitar and acoustic bass.

All of this changed abruptly one afternoon when a stranger crashed his car into a stately old oak tree on a particularly dangerous curve, which the locals refer to as the Devil’s Elbow. Sadly, the stranger died, but his legacy lives on.

As the boys searched through the wreckage looking for identification, they discovered several vinyl AC/DC albums. After playing these back on an old Edison 78rpm Victrola, everyone agreed that the songs were "right fine country music" and that the Lost Highway of Brother Hank Williams and this Highway To Hell of AC/DC were indeed the exact same road. And the rest is now enshrined in musical history.

Since the worldwide release of the first Hayseed Dixie album, entitled A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC, over 15 years ago on April 17, 2001, there have been many converts and disciples to the holy and inspired rockgrass cause, however, Hayseed Dixie are the original creators of this noble genre. Accept no substitutes or imitations.

The band will be at the Princess Pavilion on Monday, April 17. Advance Tickets cost £16 (£18 on the door) and are available from the Pavilion box office on 01326 211222 or online at princesspavilion.co.uk or SeeTickets.com.
