Mother nature strikes again. Tim McGraw and the Dixie Chicks were set to perform separate headlining sets at the annual Calgary Stampede, with their shows scheduled between July 10 and 13. The concerts were booked to take place at the Calgary Saddledome, but due to the floods that damaged the venue last month, the shows have been canceled.
Dixie Chicks lead singer Natalie Maines recently released her first rock solo album, 'Mother.' In a new interview to promote the disc, she reveals that she's more at home in that genre than she ever was in country.
Dixie Chicks star Natalie Maines has never been one to stand quietly in the corner and keep her opinions to herself. The singer's tell-it-like-it-is style was an important part of the Texas-based trio's enormous success, and was also an important element in their undoing. Now the brash singer is at it again, likening the treatment she's received from country music fans to spousal abuse.
In a surprise move, the Dixie Chicks have announced a rare public appearance. The Texas trio have been confirmed as the new Saturday night headlining act for the 2013 Craven Country Jamboree, which takes place from July 11-14 in Craven, Saskatchewan.
Kelly Clarkson might have gotten her start in pop music, but she’s inching closer and closer to taking over country, too. Last weekend, Clarkson showed that she’s worth her weight in gold as a crossover artist when she put on a rendition of Dixie Chicks‘ ‘Wide Open Spaces’ during a performance in Murphy, CA.
That old saying, “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all” must have fallen on deaf ears at the Natalie Maines household. The Dixie Chicks vocalist rode a storm of criticism on her own Twitter page after cracking a joke at Jason Aldean‘s expense during the 2012 Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
The "VHI Storytellers" show was taped in 2006, after the controversial comments from Natalie Maines about President Bush, and before their 5 wins at the Grammy Awards for the cd "Taking The Long Way" Will you buy it?
