Welcome to the 101st episode of the Tasty Brew Music Podcast!
I first met Christian Dixon at a Sunday Heartland SongNetwork Song Sanctuary session at PH Coffee House. Shortly thereafter I welcomed Christian on air for what I believe was his very first radio appearance. I was honored to recently welcome him back to the airwaves as he was preparing to release his new work “Genetics.”
Christian is a middle born child from a small town in theMidwest…Hamilton, Missouri I believe. From a young age, he asked himself the big questions like "What is this all for?" As a pastor's grandson, faith and religion were inseparable from his upbringing. Scarcity and provision, mental health and illness, and shifting self-worth were also formative experiences that shape his life’s perspective.
He is heavily influenced by the lyrics of Switchfoot lead singer Jon Foreman, and relates closely to the work of Matt Maeson and Noah Kahan. Christian wants his music to be meaningful, introspective, and authentic; he is unafraid to confront heavy subjects like family trauma, loss, doubt, and a longing to answer the question "What is this all for?"
Enjoy this follow up appearance on the Tasty Brew with Missouri son Christian Dixon.
