Diamond Dixie is a country duo consisting of sisters Gabriela and Bianca. The girls were born and raised in Orlando, FL and now reside in Nashville, TN. Their musical journey started when the girls learned guitar from their dad at a very young age and started playing shows at school and church festivals as well as local community events. While still teenagers, approximately six years into their musical journey, they started receiving requests to perform larger, more reputable venues, which includes (but is not limited to) House of Blues in Orlando, Hard Rock in Tampa, Runaway Country Music Festival, CMA Fest in Nashville and more. Since that time, Diamond Dixie has been recording music, making radio and television appearances, and performing throughout the United States, from the California coast to the Florida coast. Over the past few years, Diamond Dixie has played the VIP Lounge at West Palm Beach shows for Florida Georgia Line, Luke Bryan and Miranda Lambert and have opened shows for Darius Rucker, Little Texas, Neal McCoy, Brad Paisley and others. In November 2020, music fans crowned Diamond Dixie CHAMPIONS in Ole Red’s Battle of the Bands.
