(Also available via PayPal here)

- "Surreal art but with images created with music"
- "Niccolò Paganini of the 21st century"

Dixon is a master of experimental and improvisational electric violin, and he specializes in a musical style that has been described as cosmic gypsy, electronic romanticism, and even interstellar whalesong! A classically trained violinist from the age of 10, he plays with symphony orchestras, rock bands, jazz quintets, and electronic DJs. In addition to captivating solo shows, performing with variety shows, and performing for yoga classes, Dixon also records regularly.

- "Your music brought peace and love to me"
- "You sound like secrets I thought I never wanted anyone to know until I heard you play them in front of everyone"

Dixon is a standing member of the The Hot Club of Lansing, was a founding member of Torch With a Twist, and has performed regularly with numerous groups from The DeWaynes to The Midland Symphony Orchestra. He works regularly with Oblivion Entertainment, Squared Circle Review, DVS, Lunatic Vagabonds, and Unveiled Bellydance. He has performed at festivals such as Rothbury, Burning Man, the Detroit Fringe Festival, Common Ground, Dally in the Alley, the Festival of the Sun, and the Heatstock Blues Festival; at venues including the Majestic Theater, Detroit's Orchestra Hall, and the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany; and at renowned shows such as The Dirty Show, Wonderland, and the Damned Show.

- "your [Rothbury show was] easily the best thing about that festival for me; I was blown away"
- "You were AMAZING!!! I’m the one that kept telling you guys that I had goose bumps!!"

You're truly gifted with that violin of yours! I'm glad to have seen you perform at the DAMNED! Your performances were AMAZING! The music you made was haunting, passionate and beautiful! I only wish my husband could have been there to see you as well. His favorite instruments are the piano and the violin and he would have loved your music! I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful experience! The DAMNED wouldn't be the same without you!

Thanks, Jade
