DIxon's Violin

Description

Quest Unity brings Dixon's Violin, visionary violinist, to the State Theatre in Bay City on June 6th, 2026 at 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:00pm. Proceeds from this event go to help Quest Unity expand their mission and programming in our community.

He has done over 1,000 concerts across North America, including giving five TED talks/performances, over ten years at Burning Man and Electric Forest, plus radio, TV, and film appearances.  A former technology leader and symphony violinist, Dixon walked away from a distinguished career to follow his dream full-time, and invented a whole new music genre.  Dixon now improvises on a 5-string electric violin with a looping system he developed to create an all-live one-man symphony, guided by his remarkable personal story of life transformation.
