311 (band)

The band has denied that the name has any link with the KKK; saying that the name was taken from the number of an Omaha police citation for indecent exposure. Ultimately the band has benefited from the publicity of the rumor, gaining media exposure they would not have received otherwise. That same year Anderson was arrested (http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/entertainment/10325060.htm) in Denton, Texas, for drunken driving. In 1997, a rumor started that the band's name, 311, stood for Ku Klux Klan because K is the 11th letter of the alphabet. Her next album, "The Blugrass Sessions", didn't appear until 2004. Aside from their currently released, the band has created two well documented videos (Enlarged to Show Detail and Enlarged to Show Detail 2) of their touring, friendship, and of course: music. She began recording again in 1992. "Down", "All Mixed up". More hits followed, ending with 1984's "You're Welcome to Tonight".

Their first CD, Music was released in 1993 and eventually went gold. Their biggest selling CD was their self-titled release in 1995 (also known as "The Blue Album") which went triple-platinum, and also found mainstream success with the singles. The song won a Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal and was a hit in 15 countries. These records, titled Dammit, Hydroponic and Unity, and their live shows, launched their career in the mid west after which they moved out to California in an attempt to be signed onto a major label. A few more hits followed, as well as a regular appearance on The Lawrence Welk Show, then signed to Columbia and released her best-known song, "Rose Garden". In 1990 and 1991, 311 released three records on their own indy label, What Have You Records. She began her solo career in 1967 with "In Person", followed by a hit with her mother's "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)". All five of the members grew up in Omaha, Nebraska in the 1970s. She grew up in Sacramento, California with her mother, a professional songwriter who wrote "The Fugitive" and "(All My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers", both Merle Haggard hits, among others.

The members of 311 are Nick Hexum (lead vocals, guitar), Douglas Vincent "SA" Martinez (vocals, turntable, programming), P-Nut (bass), Tim Mahoney (lead guitar), and Chad Sexton (drums). Lynn Anderson (born September 26, 1947 in Grand Forks, North Dakota) is an American country musician. 311 formed in late 1988 in Omaha, Nebraska as a rapcore/nu metal/punk rock/reggae group.
