Don Dixon
Marti Jones & Don Dixon have been performing together, off and on, for over twenty years. This longtime partnership has resulted in an intimate stage rapport as well as the seamless blending of two of the most distinct voices around today. With over two hundred songs in their collective recorded catalogue, you never know quite what to expect when they hit the stage, but rest assured their performance will feature thoughtful lyrics and heart-felt singing.
Don Dixon has devoted his entire life to the popular song. Whether working as a singer, songwriter, musician or producer, he has always tried to capture the essence of his life in the moment.
He began playing and recording in his mid-teens, co-founding ARROGANCE, a band that helped forge the North Carolina scene which brought the world Let’s Active and The dBs, along with dozens of other bands that followed in their wake. Dixon went solo in 1983 and has released nine cds. He is currently at work on a new recording with his long-time touring band, Jamie Hoover and Jim Brock. After twenty years, Jamie has named the group “Don Dixon & the Jump Rabbits”. The new platter is called “The Nu-Look” and is due in May 2008.

Roaming Artist’s Studios
Music gets airplay and bands appear live, authors books make best-seller lists and get promoted through Book Bub and other media. Visual artists create their work in a studio, hope that people will see it and appreciate it, and attempt to create an online presence to assist in that goal. This post allows Roaming the Arts to be a patron, visit studios, and drive traffic to those websites. This site will not comment on the art, for indeed, “the eye of the beholder” applies here, so click either the name or the image and visit the site.

Raj Bunnag
Raj Bunnag is a Thai American artist living and working in Durham, North Carolina. He received his BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2012 with an emphasis in Printmaking, and an MFA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2022. Bunnag’s practice examines systematic racism inherent to the foundations of the United States, its institutions and domestic/global policies, through themes in the lineage of print. In his more personal work, he is researching the ideas and baggage that come with self-identity as the son of immigrants and what it means to be a non-white body existing in white spaces. He has shown work nationally and internationally as well as received numerous awards for his relief printed work.
Bunnag uses references from pop culture, news headlines, government policy and legislation, and historical research to take a searing look at the failures of the War on Drugs. Various illegal substances and major participants of the War on Drugs are represented as fantastical monsters in a style reminiscent of master printers such as Jacques Collet, Francisco de Goya, and others.
Whether it is teaching printmaking and drawing to Duke students or teaching local high schoolers, Raj finds his inspiration in spreading the gospel of print and educating people on how the printed world is still powerful in a digitally dominated society.
