“The Hayseed’s berserk hedonism is indeed refreshing! 5 stars” – The Guardian
“Superlative musicians with a deep love and understanding of the dynamics of both modern rock and ancient hillbilly music” – The Times
Hayseed Dixie are the American “Rockgrass” pioneers, formed in 2000 by John Wheeler (musician) (Barley Scotch) who reimagined AC/DC songs as bluegrass, becoming a global phenomenon known for high-energy shows featuring rock/metal covers with banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, continuing to tour and play majot festivals extensively.
Originally forming as a four-piece folk band in 2018, they expanded to their current lineup before releasing their debut album Reservoir in January 2024 on Loose Music, followed by their second critically acclaimed album, All The Right Weaknesses, in April 2025.
The band is characterized by its collaborative songwriting process, which results in a cohesive sound despite individual contributions, and a live performance style that emphasizes both raw energy and thoughtful arrangements.
