What happened to Dax?

Discussion

I know this has probably been asked a million times, but what happened to Dax Riggs? I was fortunate enough to see him live in NYC in 2014, but haven't heard a peep since. Thanks in advance for any replies.

I read, given from someone who knows Dax, that he decided to take time away to focus on his family. I think his son is all grown now and he's been working on new material, maybe enough for a double album. I still buy shit off his website, he's still signing stuff and everytime I purchase something, I write a little note about new music and a tour. Every response I get is that Dax is working on new music and will be touring at some point. Notwithstanding, he's my absolute favorite musician and will shit myself if any of this comes to fruition.

I had no idea that he had a kid. Damn.

Yes. I knew Dax a long time ago. I met his son when he was a toddler. He is very private about his personal life. But his son must be about 22 now. I was always curious if his son played or sang too now. Only time will tell. One can hope. I would love to see them do do something together.

He also has a daughter that’s a little older. I’m a fan from way back. I’ve hung with them over the years. My ex was very close with them all.

Cool this helps a lot. My name is actually Dax my parents knew him before I was born and they almost gave me a middle name like his son's (Maximus) but just gave me my dad's so it didn't seem like they were ripping him off or something like that. I'll be looking for more info because I would like to find him and get a chance to just jam with cool dude.

I saw him at a bar called Lola's in fort worth about 11 years ago, my wife was pregnant at the time. I named my son after him I was so moved. He did night is the notion and I could hear his raw voice over the mic and it gave me chills.

I heard heard he sells fried chicken now.

I had a dream I went to KFC and Dax was like, the manager. lmao

There was a rumor that he worked for Church's Chicken, maybe that's what you're referring to? Sammy Duet put that rumor to rest.

I heard Popeyes.
