Dixie Union Band, Rolla, Missouri
 

Hailing from Rolla, Missouri, Dixie Union is once again being seen in performances around the Missouri scene. Originally formed in 1998, the band has come together once again to provide its own unique blend of traditional and innovative bluegrass, including gospel and crossover country.

 

The Richardsons’ fresh spin on interpretation, shaded by Hatfield’s

traditional grounding and Price’s driving bass, gives the group a sound

unique in the bluegrass world. Known for their tight harmonies, blend of

old and new, instrumental and vocal pieces, and zany on-stage antics,

Dixie Union promises to entertain not only bluegrass fans, but those

who aren’t quite sure how they feel about this American genre of music.
