Carl Dixon

Born in Sault Ste Marie, Carl enjoyed listening to the Beatles, CCR, Stones, Kinks, Jethro Tull and the Guess Who. He moved to Montreal in 1979 to perform with a band called Firefly. He later moved to Toronto to join the band Coney Hatch. While with Coney Hatch, he wrote and co-wrote many of their hits, such as "Hey Operator" and "Devil's Deck". He spent most of the 1980s and 1990s touring with Coney Hatch, April Wine, and doing solo projects. In 1989, his demo song Fool's Paradise was heard in the 1989 horror film Freakshow.

In 1997, Dixon was invited to join The Guess Who as lead singer, staying with the band until the spring of 2000, then again from early 2004 until he almost lost his life in a car accident down in Australia in April 2008. He now spends his time touring and giving motivational speeches.

Dixon's autobiography, Strange Way To Live, was published in January 2015. The Bull is pleased to present Carl's solo show tonight.
