Saturday, June 13, 2026 at 7:30 pm
Caryn Dixon with Sundi Jo
-
Caryn Dixon delivers a Country/Americana sound rooted in raw storytelling, blending boot-stompin’ energy with deeply emotional moments. Hailing from central Pennsylvania, she began writing songs at age seven and has built a style often compared to a “country Florence and the Machine” or a “female Noah Kahan,” drawing inspiration from legends like Patsy Cline and Merle Haggard alongside artists like Patty Griffin and Sierra Ferrell.
At the heart of Caryn’s music is a mission to give voice to women navigating abuse, toxic relationships, and healing. Her breakout single “Bird in a Cage,” about escaping domestic abuse, earned national attention as the highest debuting single in Music Row Magazine and broke into the Country Radio Breakout Charts.
With over 400K listeners and 1.6 million YouTube views, Caryn continues to connect through honest songs that uplift, heal, and remind people they’re not alone.
Sundi Jo is a singer-songwriter, author, worship leader, and founder whose story is rooted in redemption and resilience. After overcoming childhood trauma, abuse, addiction, and years of shame and self-sabotage, she found healing through faith, music, and learning to truly live. Music first became her refuge as a child listening to Dolly Parton, and today it fuels her mission to help others find freedom and hope. She released her debut EP Jesus & Time in 2024 and will release her first full-length album, Whiskey Redemption, in 2026. Sundi Jo is also the author of Dear Dad, Did You Know I Was a Princess? and founder of AlphaGalDiet.net.

About
When Tom and Andrea Brett opened a beautiful new medical office in the heart of Branson, they noticed a special conference room that wasn't living up to its potential. As musicians and songwriters, and hosts to many "jam jams" in the basement of their own home, they began to envision this space as a venue for aspiring artists who might be intimidated by large stages, but need a place to hone their craft. They also realized that there are many professional musicians who would love a small, intimate place to share their music - where they could be more personal with their audience. Inspired by the rustic decor of their beautiful clinic in the Ozarks, and the concept of a nest being a place to be nurtured in, fly away from, and return to, the name "The Nest," was born.
