The opening line to Fat Dixie’s “Backroad”…“I’m just country, unlike the rest”…sums up this southern rock band. With roots firmly in the south, Fat Dixie has taken their love for bands such as The Black Crowes, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Willy Nelson and Waylon Jennings along with some not so country bands such as Matchbox Twenty, STP, Train and Tom Petty to cultivate their own unique sound. Fat Dixie formed in May of 2006 when Jared Sutton, Shaun Cook, and Jarrod Baker (formerly of Oklahoma based band Bishops Alley) called T.J. Chesshire and Bob Miller (formerly of Texas based band Ragtown) to ask if they would be interested in starting a new project. Not long after, T.J. and Bob moved to Seminole, Oklahoma and Fat Dixie was born. Prior to Fat Dixie’s formation, the members toured the region for 7 plus years in their respective bands playing over 1000 shows, releasing 3 full length albums, and cultivating a fan base. In December 2008, drummer Jeremy Wilson became the newest member of the band. Since Fat Dixie’s inception, the band has written over 30 original songs, released a debut album entitled Spinning My Wheels in July 2007, received airplay in several radio markets, consistently ranks as one of the top 5 Southern Rock and Country artists in Oklahoma on MySpace, and performed shows throughout Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, and Texas. The band released their newest album entitled Speakeasy in September 2009.
