Hayseed Dixie

American Appalachian band featuring John Wheeler (AKA "Barley Scotch") - singer, guitar & fiddle, Hippy Joe Hymas - mandolin/ guitar, Jake "Bakesnake" Byers - bass and Tim Carter - banjo.

Munchs Drikkeklubb Band" (2011), "Nicotine and Alcohol" (2012), "Grasswhoopin' Party Pack, Vol.1/2" (2013), "Hair Down To My Grass" (2015), plus 2017's: "Free Your Mind and Your Grass Will Follow".
