"To understand the talent that is Beau Dixon is to see him as well as hear him. As a singer, he is bigger-than-life, aided by a tall frame and a soul-reaching
voice that reaches the far side of the room and threatens to blow out the doors on exiting. As an actor, he has honed his craft well, delivering, through his
oratory, expression and actions, in most convincing fashion."
Paul Rellinger, Peterborough This Week (click HERE to read complete profile article)
"Beau brings to the table an incredible creative energy, enthusiasm and talent. You can't help but be infected by it, whether you're working with him or an
audience member. I've witnessed him develop from an actor into a playwright into a director. Not many people can turn all three into a success like Beau
has been able to."
Ray Henderson, Artistic Director, Arbor Theatre
"Beau Dixon's Saturday night appearance at the Black Horse Pub is a must-attend event ... when Dixon performs it's a treat. A few years back on New Year's
Eve, Dixon fronted Slips 'n' The High Fives at the Red Dog and had 'em bouncing off the ceiling with his powerful vocals and stage energy."
Paul Rellinger, Peterborough This Week
"He's hot! I can barely put it in words! He blew my mind! It's like Prince meets George Clinton meets Capleton but, better! We gotta have him at Hillside!"
Sam Baijal, Hillside Music Festival, Artistic Director
"Definitely THE stand-out Special showcase!"
"Haven't seen such an enthusiastic response since the days back when the Barenaked Ladies were doing the Canadian Campus Circuit!"
"Beautiful voice!"
"Amazing powerful performer!"
"Just WOW!"
"Unbelievable!"
"... and he's gorgeous!"
COCA (Canadian Organization of Campus Activities) Entertainment Buyers / Music Programmers
"Sweet, sweet music! And what a beautiful voice! I'm a sucker for stunning voices!"
Verlia, CKLN
Beau is also an actor. He recently had a lead role in a theatre piece, "Freedom For All" based on a true story on the underground railroad. Beau "provided the
truest moment of living history" post-play with a personal "real story waiting to be told!"
Bea Quarrie, The Examiner
"One talented brother! Where does one start? A full whole being, spiritual, talented versatile entertainer ... a soulman!"
Victor Bains Marshall
" Local musical entity Beau Dixon goes old-school with his new collection From Here To East City. Dixon comes off sounding very confident, as he should.
The songs on From Here To East City are well written, well performed and filled with catchy hooks and melodies. This disc has a very live feel, which benefits
the overall sound a great deal. Genre jumping, Dixon goes straight from Motown to soul to Chicago blues with nary a flinch. Dixon's voice is sweet, soulful and
assured. Livin' Up Town showcases Dixon's skill, and those of his band. The guitar licks of Phil Emond are dynamite.
Typical of the wide array of styles showcased on this collection, is the vast change from the sweet vibe of Livin' Up Town, to the mellow tune which follows.
Let's Start Over has adult oriented radio written all over it. Even on sugar-sweet tunes like this one, Dixon still manages to keep the sound grounded and real.
There is a genuine fun-time feel to the songs found on From Here To East City. Each song forms a nice collaboration between instrumentation and a chorus
of vocals. The blend of the two is reason to rejoice. Call Me Back features a melody that carried a genuine island feel.
Dixon's sound might best be likened to the recent success of similar-minded artist Remy Shand. Some of the vibes are similar, and both share a passion for
soulful sounds, though Dixon seems to go one step further by sometimes mixing in a world-beat feel."
Jeff Macklin, The Examiner June 8, 2002
"The show at the Rivoli (Dec. 3 2000) was intense! The power of Dixon's vocal delivery alone is enough to captivate any audience. But with the strength of his
songs, their emotional content and musicality, the concert was a moving experience indeed ...
"... The sixteen tracks of 'Detroit Folk' are individually compelling and unique, as though Dixon was baring his soul little by little through each of the songs on
his disc ..."
"... The beauty of this whole CD is that it has a rare stillness. Amidst all of it's motion and groove, within its heavy vibe and wrenching lyrics is a powerful
quietness which compels us to slow down and take the opportunity to know who we are ..."
Erika Werry - Toronto Freelance Writer
"... Sweet singing front man Beau Dixon is coming to 'The Balmoral' in Barry's Bay to show you how much soul he's got! ..."
"... Dixon calls his sound 'urban folk', though his songs lend a whole new meaning to the genre 'folk' ..."
"... Take home his debut CD 'Detroit Folk'. Hear his cool and sly vocal stylings for yourself ..."
Oona Woods - The Algonquin News
"... His album is very cool! Buy it and see for yourself. "
Mike Bell - The Wire
"... a poetic genius that is lost in most modern music."
Greg Gilbert - Ottawa Citizen
