Derek & Susan Trucks- Wheels of Soul TourLydia Bell. Even Florida’s record-breaking heat couldn’t stop Tedeschi Trucks Band fans from filling Daily’s Place Amphitheater on Friday night. As the rain and wind cooled down the stadium-side venue, Gabe Dixon warmed up the full house. This multi-talented singer songwriter was a smart and classy choice as an opener. While currently Dixon is TTB’s full time keyboard player, (both on tour and in studio,) his solo career is on fire, as well. Dixon is busy with his new album, Lay It On Me, as well as managing his record label, Rolling Ball. Since beginning his career more than 20 years ago, he has had several noteworthy experiences including playing for and performing with industry heavy hitters Paul McCartney and Alison Krauss, among others. It was evident by the crowd’s embrace on Friday evening, Dixon has quite the following of his own. It could be his slight resemblance to James Dean. But his soulful voice full of romance doesn’t hurt either.
