Dixie Chicks

Grammy-Winning Country Music Trio

The Dixie Chicks, now known as The Chicks, are an American country music band formed in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. The group originally started as a bluegrass band with a rotating ensemble of musicians, but it was the lineup of Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar), Emily Robison (banjo, dobro, guitar), and Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin) that brought them widespread fame. They achieved commercial success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as "Wide Open Spaces," "Cowboy Take Me Away," and "Travelin' Soldier." The band is known for their sharp songwriting, expert musicianship, and vocal harmonies.
