Ohio to choose June 11 as ‘Mojo Nixon Day’ in Honor of Late Rock Artist

The Ohio House of Representatives will choose June 11 as Mojo Nixon Day through a bi-partisan resolution in a general session on Tuesday (June 11), according to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame website. In addition, the General Assembly of Representatives will deliver a proclamation to Nixon’s family recognizing the longtime southern Ohio resident for his contributions to the culture.

Nixon passed away Feb. 7 on the SiriusXM Outlaw Country Cruise, one day after he performed on the boat, due to a cardiac event.
