Getting to Know the Gabe Dixon Band
If you sift through the old stuff that my spouse still covets, you find artists like Paul Simon, James Taylor, Paul McCartney, Jackson Brown, Billy Joel, Bruce Hornsby, Carole King and the like. He was never a heavy metal or dance fan. He likes the story tellers, the pianists, and the acoustic guitars. Even with no musical knowledge I knew immediately that this pop/rock, sometimes folk tinged or soulful music would be appreciated.
It seems we seldom get to hear the newer bands or any indie artists. So after reviewing the "All Will Be Well" video, we decided it was time to become a bit better aquainted with the Gabe Dixon Band.
Who is the Gabe Dixon Band?
It turns out that the Gabe Dixon Band actually formed back in 1998 although with a somewhat different format than what we hear today. The current group is a trio with Gabe Dixon playing keyboards and singing lead vocals. Winston Harrison plays bass and backup vocals and Jano Rix is on drums/backup vocals.Gabe, as it turns out is a trained classical pianist and his talent and skill with the keyboard leads the band.

An Earlier Work
After searching out some other work by the band, I discovered I had actually heard them before. In fact, the Gabe Dixon Band had done a cover of Steve Wonder's "A Place in the Sun" for the movie Charlotte's Web. A kid's movie of course and a very uplifting tune but I felt they did it justice and recall liking it following the film.You can listen to it below.
More About the Music
There have been four releases over the years from the Gabe Dixon Band. 2000 was the first with "More Than It Would Seem", then in 2002 "On a Rolling Ball Came Out", followed by 2005's "Live at World Cafe".The most recent, and probably their best effort is "The Gabe Dixon Band" released in 2008. I think the band is still evolving and we've yet to see all that they can do, it's exciting to watch them grow!

- I first heard Gabe Dixon Band on Craig Ferguson one night. The guy blew me away. So much talent oozing out of him. When he plays the piano, it's like coming home for him. He is doing exactly what God wants him to do with his life. Or as he calls it in one of his songs, "I'm practicing my purpose."
