Caryn Dixon sets October 16 single release ahead of new EP

Caryn Dixon will release “Star of Boscobel” on October 16 and mark it with a Nashville listening event the same night. The single leads into her EP Where I’ve Been, out November 27, and ties to a planned video, duet, and outreach around domestic violence awareness.

Why it matters: - Caryn Dixon is using the single rollout to build momentum for Where I’ve Been, her next EP, while connecting the release to live performance, visual storytelling, and personal advocacy. - The campaign also expands the reach of “Star of Boscobel” beyond streaming by linking the song to a real-life inspiration and a planned duet.

What happened: - Dixon will release “Star of Boscobel” on Friday, October 16. - The single arrives ahead of Where I’ve Been, which is set for November 27. - Dixon will celebrate the release with a listening event at The Bowery Vault, 2905 Gallatin Pike in Nashville, at 8:30 p.m. on October 16. - The Nashville event will include Dixon sharing the story behind the song during her performance.

The details: - “Star of Boscobel” was inspired by a woman Dixon describes as a karaoke star in Wisconsin. - Dixon plans to feature that woman in the song’s upcoming music video. - Dixon also plans to record a duet version of the song with the woman who inspired it. - The video is planned for December. - The visual concept centers on nighttime streetlights and twinkle lights. - Where I’ve Been blends country storytelling with folk, Americana and alternative influences. - The EP includes the title track plus “High Tide,” “Something Somewhere,” “Star of Boscobel” and “Running for Gold.” - Dixon’s single “Bird in a Cage” is getting airplay on Absolute Radio Country. - Dixon also appeared on air on Absolute Radio Country during her recent tour. - Dixon recently performed seven shows in the UK. - Four of those UK performances were sold out, including one in Wales and three in England. - Feedback from the Wales show said, “You've raised the bar very high now and I think we'll have a riot on our hands if we don't get you back next year.” - Dixon’s music draws from her experience as a mother and independent artist.

Between the lines: - Dixon is pairing a song launch with a broader narrative strategy: the subject of the track, the video concept and the live event all reinforce the same story. - Her decision to speak more openly about domestic abuse adds a more personal layer to the rollout and may deepen how listeners connect with the new material. - Her return to music after a lengthy hiatus suggests the current release run is part of a longer rebuilding phase for her catalog and audience.

What's next: - “Star of Boscobel” will be available on digital streaming platforms on October 16. - The music video is planned for December. - Where I’ve Been will follow on November 27. - Dixon is sharing personal video content in October as part of Domestic Violence Awareness Month outreach. - RSVPs for the listening event can be sent to Greg Garvin at greg.garvin@strmmusic.ai. - Interview and press requests go to MarieDriven at marie@playbookmg.com. - More information is available at caryndixonmusic.com.
