Bob & Lynn Dixon

Bob & Lynn Dixon are a husband-and-wife duo featuring tight harmony singing. They sing songs and play tunes from the old-time tradition-Carter Family, Delmore Brothers, Doc Watson and others-as well as “new” old songs from the likes of Norman Blake, Gillian Welch, and Tim O'Brien. Expect to hear songs about trains, cowboys, outlaws, hard times, good times, lost love, and perhaps a Swedish fiddle tune, a little guitar flatpicking, and some mandolin/fiddle duos.

They are proud to have placed third in the MBOTMA Duet Competition at the state fair in 2006 and 2007. Bob also placed first in the Senior Division in the Minnesota Flatpicking Guitar Championship for three years running (2004-2006).

Bob & Lynn have performed at the MBOTMA Homegrown Kickoff and other MBOTMA events, the Stone Arch Festival of the Arts, the 2007 Bluegrass Fest at LCO Casino in Hayward WI, and can be heard from time to time around Minneapolis at Bill Cagley's Roots Showcase and at coffee houses and private parties. They are also active in the contradance band Danebodium.
