Hello Friends,

Today I released a new song called “Silent Serenade.” Take a listen here! 

LISTEN TO SILENT SERENADE

This is the first release in a series of songs I wrote and produced with my friend, singer-songwriter Oliver Wood. This past May, I joined Oliver, drummer Mark Raudabaugh, bassist Rhees Williams, and engineer extraordinaire Brook Sutton at the Wood Brothers’ Studio in Nashville to record a few songs. 

“Silent Serenade” is about love and devotion and how sometimes our actions sing the love song better than the love song itself. Which sounds kind of “meta,” since this is a love song, but I digress… 

I love this one, and I hope you do too.

Hello Friends!

This past Friday, I released a new song called “World’s Gone By.”

Listen to the new release here!

This is the third and final song in a series I wrote and produced with Dustin Ransom, following “Manically Free” and “Violins.”

Let’s be real, the modern media landscape has turned many of us into dogs “with too many bones.” The myriad of entertainment options and the dopamine-inducing slot-machine-like nature of social media keep our attention pulled and pulled… and pulled into our screens over and over again.

This song shines a light on the irony of looking for the world inside a screen when the real world is all around us, waiting for us to look up and engage with it.

I hope you enjoy “World’s Gone By.”

Love,
Gabe

Today I released “Manically Free,” my first original song since 2024. You can listen to it HERE!

This song was born after months of winter malaise, in a moment when I stepped out of a coffee shop in North Carolina and into the bright morning sunshine. It’s probably safe to say I deal with a bit of what they call Seasonal Affective Disorder. Sometimes it’s hard to see the light because it’s behind the clouds. Sometimes it’s hard to see because you’ve had your head down so long, you forgot you can look up. What can I say? Nothing chases away the darkness quite like the light.

Sometimes people who are simply healthy, functional humans seem almost manic to me––but after I get a little light and a dose of perspective, I realize it’s only because I was depressed that they seemed that way. I hope my moment of “mania” might remind you that leaving your mind behind and simply basking in the warm sunshine of life is a joyous and wonderful miracle. I may need you to remind me of that someday.

I hope you enjoy this song.
LISTEN HERE.

– Gabe

Hello! I just released two versions of “Morning,” by Beck: A vocal version and an instrumental version.

Listen to both versions at these links:

Piano Spells – “Morning” (Piano Version)

Gabe Dixon – “Morning” (Vocal Version)

“Morning” is a song about beginning a new day, metaphorically and literally. I have always loved this musical rendering of the breaking dawn, written by Beck. After performing it at a friend’s wedding recently, I was inspired to record it.

I hope you enjoy these.

Sincerely,
Gabe
