Dwane Dixon is a singer-songwriter, guitarist and music entrepreneur with four self-produced, all-original blues albums to his credit. Based in Montreal, Canada he is a 20-plus year veteran of the local music scene.
A true ambassador for the blues rock of the late 60's & 70's, he pours body and soul into the genre, drawing influences from Jimi Hendrix, Billy Gibbons and Jimmy Page at the height of their powers.
In his own words, "I grew up on the blues-based rock of the 60s and 70s and that music brought me back to the roots. I discovered Led Zeppelin and the Allman Brothers long before I knew Howling Wolf or John Lee Hooker. In reality it was Jimmy Page that really initiated me into the blues. Upon hearing the opening guitar lick of Since I've Been Loving You, I was hooked!"
For about a decade, Dwane travelled around North America performing mostly one-night stands and fly-in engagements in a corporate-party band from the late 1990s until 2010. After 12 long years of playing cover music, he decided to place an ad on Craigslist looking to start a "Texas Blues Trio". It didn't take long before his trio, "Rio Grande" was booking 100 shows per year.
Being equally at ease on stage as in the studio, Dwane decided that it was time to make an album, in his ad hoc home studio, that would celebrate this new direction and to pay homage to the great players that inspired him.
In 2013 his debut album, Black Satin Blues was released. Music blogger Pete "Blewsman" Lauro called the song, Long Way From Loving You, "Six and a half minutes of pure, blues bliss" and "song of the year material...".
Another song, Devil is Knocking, got regular airplay on a local classic rock station. It wasn't long before Dwane Dixon Band was playing 120 shows/year with solo performances rounding out the schedule to top 200.
In 2016 Dwane released the follow-up album, Working Man Blues and then, in 2019, his first solo album, Betting on a Gambling Man.
Since March 2020, Dwane has performed assorted virtual and live shows and also released a digital album of 8 songs entitled, 14 Days in the Hole Volumes 1 & 2 all of which were written, produced and performed by Dwane Dixon between the months of April and June 2020.
His music is currently enjoying regular airplay on several internet, satellite and FM radio stations in Canada, the United States, the UK, Germany and Australia and has held a Top 50 chart position on Stingray Music Canada and Roots Music Report Canada for over a year.
You can find Dwane Dixon music almost anywhere digital music is consumed including Spotify, Itunes, Amazon Music and Google Music.
Dwane is currently working on his fifth album due out in late 2021.
