NEW LINEUP! NEW SOUNDS!
The Dixie Bee-Liners are proud to announce some exciting changes to the band's music, as well as its lineup. Bee-Liner fans will know that the band has been hard at work in 2012, recording lots of new original roots music! They'll be unveiling select tracks this fall on the 2012 Intergalactic Space Tractor Tour. Brandi Hart, Buddy Woodward, and Todd Patrick Livingston will be sharing multi-instrumentalist duties... running the gamut from their usual acoustic instrumentation to dojo, telecaster, slide guitar, and much more! New York-area songwriter Mick Hargreaves will be joining the band on electric bass. Drummer Zach Bruce will make a guest appearance on the Intergalactic Space Tractor Tour. Fiddler Lauren Saks will be joining the band at select future appearances.
"It's the most earthy and honest music we've ever made," states DBL co-founder Brandi Hart. "I can't wait for folks to hear it!"
In fact, not only is the band sharing sneak-peaks of the new music on their upcoming September tour, they're actually inviting concertgoers to help name the new project. "We've decided we want the fans to be involved in choosing the album title," explains co-founder Buddy Woodward. "Everyone who pre-orders our new project at one of our September shows gets an equal vote in the process. That way, they're hearing the new songs, deciding which ones they like the best, and helping us determine which song will ultimately become the title track."
Fans who pre-order the new project online will also get a vote in the naming process. They will receive an electronic survey via email within 48 hours of their purchase. Click here for more information!
The recording project is slated for release in the spring of 2013. Stay tuned right here for updates as the project is finalized!

TAKE A TRIP TO SUSANVILLE... WITH THE DIXIE BEE-LINERS!
The Dixie Bee-Liners' second full-length work, Susanville, peers into the cars and trucks in America's cities and towns, bringing to life 19 breathtaking musical moments along America's interstates and byways. The band employs its signature blend of hooks and harmonies, exploring themes such as escape, adventure, memory, and regret.
"It's a soundtrack to a movie that plays in your mind," explains mandolinist and co-founder Buddy Woodward. "Each song is a vignette about a different person in a different car or truck in a different highway in America, and they're all headed either to or from Susanville."
Lead singer Brandi Hart had this to say about the project: "Susanville is the first of several bluegrass concept records we've been planning. It's all about journeys and destinations. If you can imagine being able to look down into every car on the highway and tell the stories of the people inside, that's what Susanville is like."
In true Bee-Liner fashion, the band promises to deliver its custom blend of traditional and contemporary sounds. Expect banjos, fiddles, guitars, and mandolins... but also bouzoukis, dulcimers, cellos, and a few other instrumental surprises. Also, look for cameo appearances by Grammy winner John Jorgenson, plus '60s country songstress Kay Adams, and Wayne Wilson of Buck Owens' Buckaroos.
"This project was truly a group effort," notes Woodward. All the songs on Susanville were written or co-written by members of the band. We collaborated with Ken Stringfellow (formerly of The Posies) on a couple of tunes, and Night Drivers' bassist Jon Weisberger also contributed to the original material."
