WTSB Radio will have son of country music legend Charley Pride, Dion Pride on the air with Carl Lamm on Wednesday, September 9th at 3:15 pm.
Tune in to hear how it was growing up being the son of one of Country Music’s talented artist. How touring with on his father’s show influenced him to strike out on his own with his own music.
Dion’s musical ability began at an early age. He learned to play guitar, piano, the drums and bass all by the age of 14.
Dion played lead guitar and keyboard for his father, and opened his father’s show for 5 years, but while touring, Dion began to incorporate some of his own material. The audiences were so responsive that Dion decided to launch his own career.
When asked, “What was the most important thing you learned from your father?” Dion sums it up in one word, ”Humbleness”. And Dion has taken that lesson to heart. He has a genuine enthusiasm and excitement for country music that is rarely seen today, and although his success continues to grow he remains humble and grateful – always giving his fans the performance of a lifetime. With his impressive talent, honest heart and dedication, Dion Pride, is leaving his own mark on country music. Photos courtesy Dion Pride
