From a young age, Dion displayed his musical prowess, taking the stage at just fourteen. His songwriting abilities were showcased when his father recorded Dion’s composition, “I Miss My Home,” which featured on Charley Pride’s esteemed “Choices” album in 2011. Initially, Dion played lead guitar and keyboards for his father’s performances, opening his shows for an impressive five years. However, as he began incorporating his own material into the sets, the audience’s enthusiastic response fueled his decision to venture out on his own musical journey.

For the Australasian dates “Dion Pride Sings the Songs of his Father” Dion is joined by original Charley Pride touring musicians including Ronnie Miller (Pedal Steel Guitar), Danny Hutchins (Piano/keys) and Mark Kalson (Fiddle).
