Gabe Dixon Band :: Concert Videos :: Vol. 18
This week's videos are of three gents based in Nashville -- or Nashvegas, as some call that city -- who infuse their songs with the wild and fullfisted piano style of Jerry Lee Lewis and Dr. John. There's a clear line between young groups like the Gabe Dixon Band and the blues and early rock n' roll masters who inspired them. In this set, they are performing songs from the appropriately titled Gabe Dixon Band album. This set was shot at the Pandora office in Oakland, right before the band crossed the bridge to perform at the Fillmore.

Not related...but I just noticed the lyrics tab today! Very cool, Pandora!
I just hope y'all keep the audio ads to a minimum...I'd love y'all even more!
Keep up the good work!

Jacquie and Flower Girl Mom -- I'm glad you like the jazz! Lots of jazz fans among us here at the HQ (me among them). I'll let Marcus & Matt & Jeff know you that liked their performance in those videos.
John -- Good eye. And quick! The new on-site lyrics went live this morning. It's something we've wanted for quite a while here, and we're all glad that they're up and available now.
Buns and Chou Chou -- I'm gonna write you directly. We should meet up for coffee, eh? That is, if rabbits drink coffee...

Jazz is an interesting genre in music. It's like the Mystery genre in writing, if that makes any sense. I'm not really into jazz, but good song choices. I'm just an Alternative Rock, and just Alternative music listener. aka: the academy is..., All time low, Something Corporate, Jimmy Eat World, etc...

Hi, Kate,
Like the Mystery genre, hmm? Interesting comparison...
Thanks, Steve!

Hey Mark,
See you at the Fox! I'm heading straight there from elsewhere, so alas, no Bulldog for me this time.
Hi Amanda,

By the way, how about a Pandora applet on facebook? :^) 200 million users, at last count could translate into 200 million listeners. :^)
Posted by: Mark at March 30, 2009 02:27 PM
Hi, Stan, Toph, Mark, MForys...
I'm glad that you guys like the jazz, and the 'new Nashville' sounds of Gabe and his bandmates.
Mark - there is a Pandora application for Facebook. Here is where that lives:

i cant find a contact email anywhere on the page, but i wanted to let you guys know about a band called stay ali. i would classify them in the electronica/"video game" music genre. their music can be found on myspace.com/stayali, mininova.org, bitorrent, so on. theyre really one of a kind and deserve a listen to by the pandora team. thanks alot.

I can't seem to find Hypernova on Pandora they haven't really hit it huge in the US but they have played some pretty big events including Pangea Day, SXSW, and others some of their bigger songs include Fairy Tales, Viva La Resistance, and Universal. I could not find a contact anywhere so hopefully this finds its way to the right people. Hypernova is alternative and would be a great addition to Pandora Last fm has it
Posted by: Wes at April 14, 2009 06:12 PM
Loved this band!
Anyone using a piano like that has my vote, keep going boys, the world needs more real music!
