Concerts at Red Rocks are in full swing and 2022 saw the return of the Tedeschi Trucks Band Wheels of Soul Tour. Tedeschi Trucks Band played at Red Rocks in 2021, (7/31/21 Tedeschi Trucks Fireside Live at Red Rocks), but it was a scaled-down version of their usual Wheels of Soul Tour.

Starting Friday night’s show was the Gabe Dixon Band, featuring Gabe Dixon who also is part of Tedeschi Trucks Band on keys and vocals. Gabe Dixon is a Nashville-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, born and raised in Tennessee. Supported by Daniel Asher on bass and Randy E. Schrager on drums, Dixon sparked the crowd with Lay it on Me, Let Me Be Your Melody, Tangled Up in Blue (Bob Dylan), Ain’t It About Time, and All Will Be Well. And it was.
