Dixie Fried

“Dixie Fried touches a nerve not unlike a rusty stylus dropped upon a Son House 45” – Barry Gordon (The Scotsman) “…brings the Mississippi blues to Union Jack in a way that would make RL Burnside and Carl Perkins proud.” – Wolfarelli “…an emphasis on Mississippi blues, meet stripped down rock, or is it Clyde delta blues/rock?” – Blues Matters Magazine (issue 69) Dixie Fried are a 2 piece, up-beat, blues inspired rock band from Central Scotland. They write songs about things we all witness in our own life experiences, from long car journeys to drunken nights to the ‘special’ characters that every town and village have bouncing through every street. However, they do tell each story to a background of Americana inspired rhythmic hypnotic blues music. The backbeat of each song has a pulse that sings to your soul through Murphy’s drums, then you find yourself lost in music as Lamie’s captivating and alluring guitar style wondering why have you never found Dixie Fried before now ? With inspirations coming from RL Burnside, Junior Kimbrough, with the more contemporary North Mississippi Allstars and very early Black Keys it is easy to hear their hero’s influence but still capturing the dry yet clever, Scottish wit within the lyrics. Having several Scottish tours during past few years, festival slots at Almost Blue in Dundee, Maryport Blues, Beat Herder Lancs, Jocktoberfest on The Black Isle, and recent winners of Best Small Festival at Scottish Event Awards Southern Fried Festival. Supports slots for Aynsley Lister, The Beards, Molotov Jukebox, Bob Log III, Marcus Bonfanti and Dave Arcari. Dixie fried can adapt to any environment to put on a captivating show.
