For more than 50 years, Ed O’Neal and the Dixie Melody Boys have been legendary within Southern Gospel for their ability to consistently communicate with their audience regardless of the times or seasons. Ed O’Neal has always been able to assemble a group that works hard at presenting old songs and new with finesse and polish. One of newest members of this quartet is Aaron Dishman, baritone and pianist, who is quickly becoming a favorite with the young Dixie Melody Boys fans.
SGM Radio recently caught up with Aaron and invited him to respond to our Fast Five questions.Â
Young Gospel Fast Five Facts with Aaron Dishman
1. SGMR: What is your favorite thing about being with The Dixie Melody Boys?
Aaron: I love to sing and meet new people, but my favorite thing to do is sit on the bus and listen to Ed O’ Neal tell stories.

Aaron: “Hello Mama”. A lot of people that come to our concerts can relate to that song.
3. SGMR: What is your most favorite holiday tradition?

4. SGMR: If you could be a character in any Christmas cartoon/show, who would you be?
Aaron: I would be “Elf” because he knows the “best way to spread cheer is singing loudly for all to hear!â€
