WORTHINGTON — The first musical act to take the stage during Worthington’s 2022 Windsurfing Regatta and Music Festival, Maiden Dixie, will kick off the weekend festival with a 7 p.m. performance Friday on Sailboard Beach.
The country-rock quintet first broke onto the music scene in 2011. While they’ve dabbled in original music, they’re mostly known as a cover band, having played a wide range of A-list clubs in Minnesota and opened for several national acts.
With a musical repertoire spanning genres, Maiden Dixie boasts a song list including country music staples like Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, as well as classic hits from the likes of Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles and Queen. Recent artists like Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Hunter Hayes are also listed.
Friday night will mark Maiden Dixie’s second visit to the festival, having first performed here in 2015. They will take the stage alongside other country music acts like Easton Corbin and Brad Morgan during the weekend festival.
“We’re excited for them to kick off the festival on Friday,” said Regatta music committee chairman Barry Roberts. “It’s great to have them back.”
