The Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center is hosting a performance of Colton Dixon’s “2023 Build A Boat Tour” with special guests Jordan St. Cyr and Apollo LTD in downtown Clarksburg on Sunday, April 23 at the historic Robinson Grand Performing Arts Center located at 444 W. Pike St. in Clarksburg.
Colton Dixon quickly became a household name in 2012 when he was voted a fan favorite and made it to the top seven of Season 11 of Fox’s hit show American Idol. His career has been on the fast track ever since, now boasting over 100 million streams across all platforms. Dixon’s 2013 debut, A Messenger, set the record for biggest first-week sales by a new solo Christian act, becoming the No. 1 selling album by a new Christian artist.
“We are really lucky to be a stop on Colton Dixon’s upcoming tour” said Jason A Young, the Robinson Grand’s program manager. “Build A Boat, the song that gives the tour its name, was recently named the longest-running Mediabase Christian AC #1 song of 2022.”
Dixon’s sophomore effort Anchor included the most played Hot AC single of 2014, More of You, which spent three weeks at No. 1, as well as Through All of It, his fourth consecutive No. 1 at Hot AC Radio. In 2013, Dixon won a Dove Award for Best Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year, along with two additional nominations. In 2015, Anchor was honored with the Dove Award for Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year.
Dixon received back-to-back K-LOVE Fan Award nominations for Male Artist of the Year in 2014 and 2015, followed by the release of his third studio album Identity, which included the top 5 single All That Matters, whose video was premiered by PEOPLE magazine. His latest, critically-acclaimed, self-titled EP, boasting the hit tracks Miracles, Devil is a Liar, and Made to Fly is available now, along with his latest single, Build a Boat.
Joining Colton Dixon on the 2023 Build A Boat Tour are special guests Jordan St. Cyr and Apollo LTD.
Manitoba, Canada-based songwriter, Jordan St. Cyr is a husband and a father of four. Over the years, St. Cyr has had the opportunity to play numerous events and it’s been revealed to him, humanity’s deep desire for meaningful connection and the hope to find something more vibrant than our current reality. In 2020, his single Fires made an astounding debut on the radio.
While appearing on the Billboard charts for 45 weeks and climbing to No. 5, Fires has been played on major networks and stations for more than a year, reaching 7.7+ million people a week. His most recent single Weary Traveler is available now as well as a brand new Christmas single Rejoice.
Apollo LTD is a pop-rock duo from Nashville, TN consisting of Jordan Phillips and Adam Stark.
“We believe this show as the potential to sell out, quickly,” said Young. “We hope people will take advantage of the affordable tickets and make plans to join us on April 23.”
