Born and raised in Tennessee, Dixon began playing keyboards professionally before he’d even started high school. As a teenager, you could usually find him hauling his Hammond B3 organ in and out of Nashville nightclubs he wasn’t even old enough to legally enter, and by the time he hit 18, he was headed down to Florida to study classical piano at the University of Miami.

It was there that he launched the Gabe Dixon Band, which included his then-roommate Jano Rix (who would later go on to fame as a member of The Wood Brothers), and began writing songs with the same kind of focus and passion that he’d previously reserved for his virtuosic keyboard work. After graduation, Dixon and the band landed a major label deal and began releasing a string of acclaimed albums, which helped earn them television appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live and The Late Show, festival slots everywhere from Bonnaroo to High Sierra, and widespread critical praise.
Along the way, Dixon also found himself serving as a hired gun for some of the biggest names in modern music. Paul McCartney tapped him to play keys on Driving Rain and at the Concert For New York City; Avicii featured his harmony vocals on the platinum smash “Hey Brother;” and Alison Krauss, O.A.R., and Supertramp all invited him to join their touring bands. Rewarding as the work was, Dixon’s heart always lay with his own music, and he turned down seemingly as many opportunities as he took.
