Their music is piano-driven rock akin to Ben Folds Five with a more serious tone, Jackson Browne and early 70s Elton John. The band worked with producer/engineer Eddie Kramer on their independently released debut album, More Than It Would Seem, in 1999. They relocated to New York City after graduation and were signed to Reprise by David Kahne. After Dixon respectfully declined the keyboard position on the Paul McCartney world tour to instead focus on production of the band's major label debut, On A Rolling Ball was released in 2002.
Their song "All Will Be Well" off of the 2005 EP Live at World Cafe rose to moderate prominence when it was used in promos for the NBC show Conviction.
The band released their debut album for Fantasy Records, The Gabe Dixon Band, in August 2008. In its initial days of release, it has received praise from the music press and fellow artists. The band toured the United States from Aug 2008 through Nov 2008 with native New Yorker turned Canadian resident, newcomer Justin Nozuka.
The song Find My Way was the opening track to the film The Proposal (2009) starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds.
Gabe Dixon is also currently a member of the band Supertramp (as of Fall, 2010).
Gabe's solo album, One Spark, will be released on August 23, 2011. The album is produced by Marshall Altman and will feature a duet with Alison Krauss.

Everything's OK
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw Theresa yesterday
She shaved her body for a play
You know she looked so very fine
I just can't get her off my mind.

I saw Theresa yesterday
She told me "Everything's okay,
I'm so in love with you today"

Theresa asked me to commit
I think that I could go with it
I never thought I'd have a wife
But I could see her in my life.

I saw Theresa yesterday
She told me "Everything's okay,
But I'm leaving you today"

The night I climb toward the sky,
Above the city lights I'll fly
How can I live without that girl?
I wanted her inside my world.

I saw Maria yesterday
She asked me up for some cafe
Now I think its gonna be okay

I think its gonna be okay
I know its gonna be okay

Overall Meaning

The Gabe Dixon Band's song "Everything's OK" tells a story about a man named who is torn between two women - Theresa, whom he has feelings for but is hesitant to commit to, and Maria, who he seems to have just met. The first verse introduces us to Theresa, who the singer saw the day before. He comments on her appearance, saying that she looked great. The second line of this verse reveals that Theresa had shaved her body for a play, which could imply that she is an actress or performer. The singer admits that he can't stop thinking about her.

In the second verse, we see the singer and Theresa talking. She tells him that everything is okay and that she's in love with him. He seems to be considering committing to her, saying that he could "go with it" if she asked him to be her husband. This verse shows that the singer does have feelings for Theresa but is unsure if he's ready to commit to her for the long term.

The third verse takes an unexpected turn when Theresa tells the singer that she's leaving him. We don't know exactly why she's leaving, but it's clear that this news is devastating for the singer. He goes on to describe a scene where he's flying above the city, unable to live without Theresa.
