Dallas TX, United States (1989 – present)

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music trio. Sisters Emily Robison and Martie Maguire (née Erwin) started the group with Robin Lynn Macy and Laura Lynch in 1989 in Dallas, Texas. Macy left the group in 1992, while Lynch was replaced with Natalie Maines in 1995.

They are currently the highest-selling female musical group in history, according to RIAA Gold & Platinum album certifications.

The group aroused considerable controversy for publicly denouncing President George W. Bush and the imminent invasion of Iraq during the European leg of their Top of the World tour supporting Home. Many country music stations immediately pulled their music from the air, and the band received criticism from many corners of the media.

Dixie Chicks released their latest album Taking the Long Way on May 23, 2006. All fourteen tracks were co-written by the Dixie Chicks and produced by Rick Rubin. This album received five Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for “Not Ready to Make Nice,” and Album of the Year and Best Country Album. Rick Rubin also won the Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical, for his work with the Chicks and for his production on Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Stadium Arcadium.

The current members are:
Emily Robison (guitar, banjo, dobro, vocals)
Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar, bass guitar)
Martie Maguire (fiddle, mandolin, vocals)
