Cellar Door Presents:
Dave Bixby @ The Louisiana Bristol

Dave Bixby live at The Louisiana, Bristol. Saturday, 12th September 2026.

With support from Dan Pacini + Scarlet Reading

Dave’s definitive loner acid folk album, Ode to Quetzalcoatl, was recorded following a long period of time Dave spent in what he calls ‘the void’, a dark, depressive episode after a prolonged period of taking LSD almost daily. Dave came out of the void and turned to God, a journey and transformation Ode to Quetzalcoatl documents. The haunting 1969 album was reissued by Spanish label Guerssen in 2009, catching the attention of private press collectors everywhere. 

Dave’s lived a vivid and fascinating life, beginning with his leadership within a Michigan-based Christian cult only known as “The Group.” Always a loner and an adventurer, Dave left the group after being sent to various corners of the country to launch new chapters, built a cabin and lived off the land. He became a park ranger in Lake Havasu, a singing cowboy in the Grand Canyon, and sailed down the Colorado River to Baja California in a boat he built himself. Today he lives in nearby Williams, Arizona where he continues to make music.

Show starts at 7:30pm.
