A whole lot of folks comprising the band Maiden Dixie made
their way down to the Cedar Riverside home of KFAI on Wednesday to play a great
set on “Live From Studio Five!” Even without their drummer, Maiden Dixie played
an amazing bunch of tunes. As ever, the band this week was joined by Doug the
Thug, Dewglass, and Cher Dial.
So who is Maiden Dixie? Hailing from all different areas of
the country, from Illinois to Denver to Minnesota, the band featured Channing
Himes and Jaymi Struthers on vocals, with Jesse Becker and Jonathan Krentz on
acoustic guitar, as well as Zachary Scanlan on fiddle and banjo, and Andrew “Tank”
Sherman on the five-string bass. Drummer Tyler Kloewer couldn’t make it that
night, but the show did play a track full of drums called “It’s Over” off the
band’s seven song EP, Little Black Dress.
Other songs from the band’s extensive set list of countrified,
bluegrassish music included “Waiting’s Done,” “Bring it On,” “Smooth Talkin’
Man,” and a song premiering on the radio that night, “Story of Our Own.”
Maiden Dixie has an extensive list of shows coming up.
Tonight, they’re at Benton Station in Sauk Rapids, MN, while Saturday they’re
hitting The Dog House Bar and Grill in Maplewood, MN. Next weekend, they make
the trip out to Skooter’s Roadhouse in Shorewood, IL on Friday, March 28, and
they’ll be at Timbuktu in Decatur, IL on the next night. Sunday, March 30
brings them back to Maplewood to pen for Randy Houser at the Myth. Down the
line in June, Maiden Dixie will appear at the Winstock Country Music Festival
in Winsted MN.
