When the gals of Coaltown Dixie met at a Front Porch Pickin’ event a couple of years ago something clicked. They quickly worked up a song backstage to perform and by the end of the night everyone thought they were an established band. So...they became one.

They began booking festival and show dates and within six months had recorded their first CD “Hotter Than A Coal Burnin’ Fire.” Continuing to hone their skills, they completed their sophomore release “Bluegrass State of Mind” just a year later. Their upbeat material consists of well-written and arranged originals, with some traditional (and definitely not-so-traditional) tunes thrown in as well. All the gals take turns with lead and harmony vocals while working (and sometimes dancing) around the mics-making for a refreshing and lively show. The Coaltown Dixie gals have opened for Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder and The Lonesome River Band and worked alongside the likes of Larry Cordle, Bobby Osborne, J.D. Crowe, Doyle Lawson, Michael Cleveland and Jesse McReynolds just to name(drop) a few. The band has been featured as “Future Stars” in the 2011 U.S. 23 Country Music Highway Travel Guide and recently graced the cover of M.E. Music Entertainment magazine. Two of their songs are currently being used as theme songs on KET. With the obvious lack of female musicians in the bluegrass world, Coaltown Dixie fills a unique niche, performing their own brand of “High-Heeled Bluegrass” with beauty and class. And the occasional G-run.
