Sean Thomas Gerard & David Dixon
Doors open at 7pm, show 8-10pm. Tickets are $12 + fees.
After five years of growth as a musician and father, Sean Thomas Gerard is back with Stay In Your Light. Gerard, who records in a humble corner of his family’s garage that doubles as a playroom for his two daughters, shares “I think about some day when I’m gone, my kids will be able to put on my records and feel like they can spend time with me again” about his music. The artist’s take on the indie-folk sound is refreshing and personal. Stay In Your Light is a comforting symphonic hug that aims to preserve the innocence of those Gerard holds dearest.
The family focused theme of Stay In Your Light is cohesive throughout, both sonically and lyrically. Gerard blends thoughtful lyrics with beautifully hazy instrumentation. The lead single, “Bright Side,” notably exemplifies these qualities with lines such as: “I knew then we were all, all in / I couldn’t plan it better than this again.” The multilayered production of the song takes the listener on a sonic cruise. In an era starved for genuine warmth and intimacy, this record feels like a luminous embrace. Profoundly moving, endlessly replayable, and destined to become a cherished soundtrack for life’s most tender moments.
Every sound on this album finds a home where they play in mass harmony, tucked in with great care by Gerard himself. This creates a seamless listening experience that immerses the universe in the artist’s vision. Stay In Your Light is an intimate glance into the artist’s psyche and his absolute affection for his daughters and family. Not a second of the listeners’ time is wasted throughout the half an hour of indie bliss.

Wilmington, NC songwriter David Dixon continues to balance live performances with recording new music, following the recent release of his debut book, The Musician’s Gold Mine. The book reached #1 on Amazon’s “New Releases” in both Music Business and Songwriting categories. His latest single, “Before It Gets Too Cold,” recently surpassed 300K streams on Spotify.
Dixon was awarded a 2023 Artist Support Grant by New Hanover County and was a finalist for the NC Artist Fellowship Award (NC Arts Council). An alumnus of the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in Boston, he draws on pop, rock, blues, and soul influences. His EP The Game includes fan favorite “Across the Room” and features Korey Riker (John Legend) on horns for “Better With You By My Side.”
A versatile performer, Dixon plays guitar, violin, bass, piano, and mandolin, appearing at music festivals, college campuses, songwriting showcases, house concerts, corporate events, and weddings. He opened for American Idol winner Phillip Phillips at a sold-out concert at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater and has toured South Korea twice, performing on U.S. military bases for the troops.
