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.

My Favorite
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My favorite song
Is the one I write for you
It's the one I haven't finished yet
I hope I never do

My favorite words
Are the ones you say to me
Gentle as a summer breeze

Certain as the sea

And I haven't found the perfect way
To show you how I feel
But I'll try and try again until I do
My favorite, my favorite, you

My favorite night
Is the one that's just ahead
I can hardly wait to lie
Beside you in our bed

My favorite life
Is the one we have made
Together now we're intertwined
With every passing day

And I haven't found the perfect way
To show you how I feel
But I'll try and try
Forever until I do

Your eyes will shine, I knew from the first time
My favorite, my favorite, you
Your smile, your tears, all your dreams and fears
My favorite, my favorite

My favorite game to play
Is wondering what's there inside your mind
I play it every day
I hope I'm getting better

Even more than that I hope
I get to play it for a long, long time

And I haven't found the perfect way
To show you how I feel
But I'll try and try
Forever until I do

Your laugh, your sigh the way you say goodbye
My favorite, my favorite

Your eyes will shine I knew from the first time
My favorite, my favorite, you
