Dixie Chicks Tour for 2016

Dixie Chicks announce 2016 North American tour

 

The country-music trio, which has won 13 Grammy Awards and sold 30 million albums, will hit the road in June for a North American concert trek that will visit more than 40 cities.

The group's DCX MMXVI World Tour will start June 1 in Cincinnati and conclude Oct. 10 at the Hollywood Bowl. The tour will include four other California stops, including a July 15 date at Sleep Train Amphitheatre in Chula Vista. All tour dates and ticket on-sale dates appear below.

It will mark the Dixie Chicks' first major road trip since 2013 and their first U.S. tour in a decade, and will follow 13 European concert dates scheduled for next spring. The group's most recent album, "Taking the Long Way Home," was released in 2006. It won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year. In the interim, lead singer Natalie Maines released a solo album, 2013's "Mother," while fellow Chicks Emily Robison and Martie Maguire released two albums as the Court Yard Hounds.

Have the Dixie Chicks maintained a large fan base? Live Nation, the promoters of the tour and the owner of Sleep Train Amphitheatre, is betting the group does.

Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday for a majority of the tour dates by phone at (800) 746-3000 and online at livenation.com and ticketmaster.com(although the group's tour dates may not appear on those websites until later Monday morning).

An online pre-sale starts Wednesday at 10 a.m. for Citi card-holders. It will be preceded by a Tour Club pre-sale for the group's fan club members and a VIP ticket pre-sale, both of which begun Tuesday at 10 a.m.

The tour was announced Monday morning, with all the dates appearing on the group's website and a link to the dates appearing on the trio's Twitter page, where the Chicks also posted a brief video about the tour. No ticket prices have been announced as yet.

Tiffany Ashton

". . . Tiffany Ashton has magic. She's an outstanding and most wanted student at several American Universities , and one of the "most exciting talent to come along in awhile that Ive had the pleasure to hear." - Charles Ecker, CR Ecker Band, 2016

Winning "Best Country Artist" at the Hollywood Music In Media Awards on November 11, 2015 at the Fonda Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame was momentous in the rising career of singer songwriter Tiffany Ashton from Winston Salem, NC. Winning the prestigious award in a category alongside veteran songwriters who had previously penned number one hits makes Tiffany the one to watch. Tiffany, with her unique twist of contemporary country pop, performed in Hollywood at venues that included headlining the HMMA Red Carpet kick-off pre-party at Cabo Wabo located in the Academy Award’s Kodak Theatre Complex on Hollywood Blvd, a performance at the historic Genghis Cohen in West Hollywood, and at the HMMA Music In Media Professional Mixer held at the exquisite Redbury Hotel. 

One of only eight singer songwriters invited to perform at the exclusive mixer, she performed with such industry experts as Tom MacLear, writer of Rod Stewart’s hit songs “Hot Legs” and “Tonight’s the Night”. 

In addition to her Hollywood Award, she was also named the 2015 Charlotte Music Awards winner in two categories, both Women in Country and Singer-Songwriter. 

Often seen taking extra time to talk with fans individually before and after shows, Tiffany enjoys connecting with her audience and her passion for reaching fans through her music is evident. “My love for music extends in its connection to the audience,” Tiffany says, "performing, singing and songwriting for me is a creative outlet, an instinct and a passion. I don’t think a day has gone by that I haven’t sung; life for me without music would be colorless. There is no better feeling than playing my original songs to an audience and having them smile back at me, mouthing the lyrics. That says it all...music has spoken to them in a way nothing else can.”

Born to sing, she performed first at the age of six as a soloist for her church, and from there she branched into performing the anthem for stadiums and solos in churches across the south. Delving into guitar at twelve, she wrote her first song and began pursuing her musical passion as a full-time career. Blending contemporary country and edgy, vibrant pop, Tiffany has since created a style all her own.

With her songs resonating in venues such as The Tin Roof Nashville and Eddie’s Attic, Tiffany has been invited to grace many stages, including events such as the Charlotte Thanksgiving Day Parade, Charlotte's Festival In The Park and North Carolina's Dixie Classic Fair. Cimorelli, Sly and the Family Stone, and Mac Powell of Third Day are only a few of the national artists Tiffany has shared the stage with, and dozens of publications, TV, and radio stations have promoted her music. 

A few of these opportunities include being featured as Wild Horse Radio's featured artist of the week, having her songs in rotation at numerous radio stations, and having her original songs played on iHeart Radio. After Tiffany's Southeast 2015 Summer Tour, audiences and fans in the US, UK, Spain, Canada and Germany have been touched by Tiffany’s music and are eagerly awaiting her next steps with frequent requests for more shows here in the US as well as international venues from the new young country artist.
