The Dixie Karas Quintet

Some say a musician’s special sound is made up of all the music they’ve experienced over their lifetime. Cincinnati legend Dixie Karas feels lucky to have grown up and lived her life in the Queen City, where so many fabulous musicians play nearly every style and genre. Not unlike the folks at Skyline chili who won’t reveal the secret recipe, Dixie walks her listeners you through all the musical spices that make up her special sound.
