Huffington Post named Gabe Dixon's One Spark album amongst the "Best Music Of 2011," Record Collector says Dixon is "a fresh new voice in the power-pop firmament," and legendary artist Jackson Browne writes "it's been a while since I've heard something so original." Dixon's 2009 self-titled band album was hailed as one of the "Best Of The Year" by Paste, American Songwriter, Performing Songwriter and in the year-end Village Voice critics poll. On the new album, Dixon's voice & piano still frame his critically acclaimed songs, but do so in the fuller more immediate company of two guitars, drums and bass. The album features co-writes with two Grammy Award winning writers and a duet with the most awarded female artist in Grammy history - Alison Krauss. Dixon's songs have been featured in numerous TV shows and films, including his song "Find My Way" as the main title theme for the #1 Sandra Bullock film "The Proposal." Dixon is also recognized as the "go to" pianist of choice, having handled keyboard duties for artists as varied as Paul McCartney, Supertramp, and Alison Krauss.
