The Dixon House Band was a prog-rock/pop group based in Seattle, Washington in the late 1970s. It issued one album on New York City-based Infinity Records in 1979 entitled Fighting Alone and had a minor chart hit with the song "Sooner Or Later".

The band got its name from the founder and keyboard player/lead vocalist, Dixon House, who was a well-known and popular band leader and singer in Victoria, BC who moved to Vancouver in 1974 to pursue a recording career.

The band's sound was a cross between the vocal sound and melodic hooks of Styx combined with some of the musical prowess and lyricism of Kansas, but with heavier guitars using a thinly compressed sound. It also had a female guitarist like Seattle counterpart Heart. Like many rock groups of its day at the dawn of the 1980s, it suffered from poor promotion and record company support.

The band worked with Vancouver's Mushroom Records and producer Mike Flicker, who supported and promoted the band. He had also produced albums for the band Heart while they were signed to the Mushroom label.

Members of the band were:[1]

  • Dixon House on keyboards and vocals
  • Chrissy Shefts on guitars
  • Chuck Gardner on guitars
  • James Kenfield on bass
  • Fred Zeufeldt on drums

Discography
