Colton Dixon’s Massive Hit “Build A Boat” Dove Award-Nominated For Song Of The Year
2023 continues to propel Colton Dixon’s career, most recently receiving a GMA Dove Award nomination for Song of the Year with his massive hit “Build A Boat.” The nod for the 54th annual event follows the song’s K-LOVE Fan Award nomination for Song of the Year and what ultimately became the longest-running No. 1 Mediabase Christian AC song of 2022.
Also featured on Dixon’s April release of his bestselling 7-song EP, CANVAS (Atlantic) is his current single, “My Light,” which continues to impact radio, rising to No. 10 on the Mediabase Activator Chart, and inching closer to such on others, currently sitting at No. 11 on Billboard’s AC Monitored, at No. 12 Mediabase Christian AC, and No. 13 on Billboard’s Christian Airplay chart respectively.
Earlier this spring, Dixon and Jordan Feliz announced “The Love & Light Tour” coming this fall, and last week they revealed where they’ll be headed (see full listing below). Kicking off September 28 in Searcy, AR., the tour will hit U.S. 28 cities this fall, also including Dallas, TX., Portland, OR., Denver, CO., Cleveland, OH., and Lancaster, PA. RSVPs for on-sale alerts and limited VIP Q&A tickets are available at www.coltondixon.com.
Along with touring the festival circuit, Dixon has made several national television appearances this summer, starting with a live appearance of “My Light” on FOX & Friends outside on the FOX Plaza, followed by opening the K-LOVE Fan Awards performing “Build A Boat,” with multi-platinum country star Gabby Barrett. On June 8, Dixon then appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show performing a special version of “My Light.”
