Gabe Dixon is a Nashville-based artist. His music is piano-driven. Between 1998 and 2010, he was lead singer of the three-piece band The Gabe Dixon Band. Since the band's break-up, Dixon works as a solo artist. He has released two albums: One Spark (2011) and Turns to Gold (2016).
Albums
Dixon released his first solo album, One Spark, on August 23, 2011 on Concord Bicycle Music. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and features a duet with Alison Krauss entitled "Even the Rain." Madi Diaz and James Walsh also lend their voices to the songs "Burn for You" and "I Can See You Shine," respectively.
On April 8, 2016, Dixon will release his sophomore solo album, Turns To Gold, on his own label, Rolling Ball Records. The album is produced by Paul Moak and features a duet with Natalie Prass entitled "The Way To Love Me."
In the past, Gabe would play primarily grand piano. However, on "Turns To Gold," he performed all but one song on an upright piano. This choice conveyed a different energy. He and the musicians, including Jano Rix on drums (The Wood Brothers), Viktor Krauss on bass (Lyle Lovett), and Kris Donegan on guitar (Cam), cut everything to analog tape with no click track. The album also features vocal performances by Jason Eskridge, Garrison Starr and Boots Ottestad. Mastering was done by Brad Blackwood at Euphonics Mastering.
Appearances and popular culture
Gabe's song, "Find My Way," was the opening track to the film The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. "All Will Be Well" was featured in the fourth season of the television show Parks and Recreation. And "Till You're Gone" was used in Bose store displays.
Gabe has performed twice on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as well as The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.
Throughout his career, many other notable artists have taken note of and supported Gabe's talent. He's held side gigs as the keyboardist and vocalist for Paul McCartney, Alison Krauss & Union Station, O.A.R. and Supertramp.
