What's new at the Mu? Don Dixon to headline Rhythms concert
The Massillon Museum’s Rhythms concert series will feature music producer and recording artist Don Dixon at 7 p.m. Sept. 19.
Highlights
Dixon helped revive “jangle pop” by 1980s indie bands. He has been a popular professional musician since he was in eighth grade and made his first recording at age 15. Throughout the ensuing decades, he has worked with R.E.M., Mary Chapin Carpenter, the Smithereens, Kim Carnes, the Red Clay Ramblers, and Gin Blossoms. His latest release is “Gunny Sack” (2023).
Joe Cocker, Counting Crows, and Hootie and the Blowfish have recorded songs Dixon wrote or co-wrote. A South Carolina native, he came to Ohio to produce Marti Jones’ music. They married and now call Canton home. The rock musician has played in 48 states, Europe, Scandinavia, and Australia. He frequently performs in Nashville, Pittsburgh, Detroit, Chicago and New York.
The museum’s doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and galleries will remain open until the concert starts in Gessner Hall. A cash bar will be available. Tickets ($12 each or $10 per member) can be purchased at MassillonMuseum.org/Tickets, in person, or by phone at 330-833-4061. Membership will be verified at the door; memberships can be purchased at any time.
