John Dixon
John is an excellent rythmn guitar player, plays bass guitar, and is an outstanding lead singer. He does traditional country and loves to do a lot of contemporary country. He regularly performs with The Lee Ann Noel Band in central Florida. This versatile group does it all from traditional country to rock and roll to blues and their sweet harmonies are almost chilling.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I've been entertaining all my life. I grew up in a family of country entertainers (2 of my Uncle's had country bands forever) so I just don't know any different. After retiring early (actually downsized by a major corporation) I moved to Florida.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Every Tuesday at Austin Horse Park in Weirsdale Florida and various venues around central Florida.
Your musical influences
My Uncle Don Colf was a major influence in my muscial career. I still love and admire the stars of yesterday (Wille Nelson, Hank Williams, Ray Price, etc.) although I have been positively influenced by stars such as Alan Jackson and Garth Brooks.
What equipment do you use?
I play a Martin JC-16RGTE 6 string flat top with Martin PREFLIX electronics and a Crate GT-212 amp. I use a Shure cordless mic and a Crate PCM-8 PA system. My bass is a Fender.
Anything else?
John is available for bookings virtually anywhere. Have trailer/can travel.
