Big Dixie
Big Dixie was a rock band formed by guitarist Tim Boykin, drummer Matt Kimbrell, bassist Don Tinsley and vocalist Rick Lovelady. They described their sound as "the best of 50s rockabilly, 60s armory rock," and their stage presence as "the Four Stooges of the Rock Apocalypse."
The group performed regularly at The Nick, The Oasis, Otey's, and Smokey Joe's Cafe. The group maintained an online presence through the regional site "The Music Trough".
Big Dixie released a self-titled 18-track album with cover art by Boykin, in late 1997. It was recorded in September of that year at Denial Studio with engineer Daniel Farris and mastered by DRT of Peterborough, New Hampshire.
The album named Jesse Suttle, Leif Bondarenko, Eric Onimus, Rick Kurtz, Mark Lanter and Eric Dover as "Honorary Big Dixians".
