Craven, SK (Top40 Charts) Today festival organizers announced the new Saturday headline act for the 2013 Craven Country Jamboree - the Dixie Chicks.
"We knew we had to find something extra special to replace
Lady Antebellum when the band canceled their summer dates due to Hilary Scott's pregnancy," said Kim Blevins, director of marketing. "We are extremely excited that we can offer a taste of country music royalty to the Craven Country Jamboree. And it won't be a regular show - not only will our fans see
Natalie Maines, Martie Maguire and Emily Robison, the three original members, this is a greatest hits package. The Craven date will be one of the only opportunities fans of the band will have to see them live. This is an incredibly special moment for
Chicks fans and the Craven Country Jamboree."

Chicks are the highest selling female group of any genre.

As a greatest hits show, their performance will be one big sing-a-long as with well-loved anthems like "Not Ready to Make Nice," "Wide Open Spaces," "Cowboy Take Me Away," "Landslide," "Ready to Run," "Good-bye Earl," and "Sin Wagon" to name but a few.
