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. https://dixonsviolin.com/ https://www.facebook.com/dixonsviolin/videos/1810740125664989/ About Brother Hallow: Brother hallow is a Roots Rock and Soul band attempting to marry Rhythm, Melody and literary lyrical style to create the ideal story telling circumstances.
