Dax Pierson [1970-2024]2025 Nov 13djmag.com
Dax Pierson was a Bay Area-based musician who suffered a spinal cord injury while on tour in 2005, paralyzing him from the chest down. I remember seeing him at shows in the years following while he was in his wheelchair. He passed away last year Christmas time, but in the intervening years while disabled he didn't stop making music. It was difficult for him at first, with limited use of his hands, but once the iPad was created and became a music making tool, it reopened Dax's access to being a musician. Even though he has now passed, his music is still available on Bandcamp.
