The Chicks return to the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion this Saturday, October 8th, and we have your chance to win a pair of tickets to see the show!

Multi-platinum trio The Chicks are heading back on tour this summer, their first major outing since 2017 and first shows since releasing their fifth studio album “Gaslighter.”.

The fallout became country music lore, a warning to stay away from political talk, especially of the liberal kind. On Juliana Calm Down, their daughters and nieces are name-checked in a song that encourages young women to keep their heads held high when struggling through lifes obstacles. Their last album, 2006's Taking The Long Way, earned five Grammys, including album of the year, and won over masses of fans who never listened to them before. But its unlikely the fans who turned their back on The Chicks 17 years ago are going to feel any different about their return. But The Chicks think younger music fans dont adhere to that idea.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. When The Chicks decided to drop the word Dixie from the band's name, it was the culmination of years of internal discussions and attempts to distance itself from negative connotations with the word. The band signed a seven-record deal with Sony and again, they questioned whether to continue as The Dixie Chicks. Strayer even wondered if the word chicks was too derogatory to women, but ultimately felt it was empowering. I think the sort of now moment for me was when NASCAR banned the Dixie flag, said Maines. The Chicks did some research and found a female duo in New Zealand had been using the name The Chicks for decades.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. Grammy-winning country group The Dixie Chicks have dropped the word dixie from their name, now going by The Chicks. A sincere and heartfelt thank you goes out to The Chicks of NZ for their gracious gesture in allowing us to share their name. We are honored to co-exist together in the world with these exceptionally talented sisters, the band said in a statement. The move follows a decision by country group Lady Antebellum to change to Lady A after acknowledging the word's association to slavery. Lady A received criticism with their name switch after a Black singer revealed shed been performing as Lady A for years.
