Rack House Rebellion (RHR) is a Texas-based rock and roll band. The band was initially formed in 2015 by guitarist Derrick Carlson and drummer Gregg Dixon. The band’s blues roots mix with the influence of 80’s metal to create a distinctive Texas hard rock sound. Rack House Rebellion initially underwent several lineup changes before settling around Carlson on guitar and brothers Gregg and Mark Dixon on drums and rhythm guitar, respectively.

The early days of RHR were very humble. Co-founder Derrick Carlson and bassist Tony Bowler met at a jam session brought together by Derrick's father in law who would routinely play guiter with Tony's father during their lunch breaks at work. When Bowler and Carlson met, the chemistry was immediate. The two bonded over Led Zeppelin, Hootie and the Blowfish, and Guns and Roses covers. Subsequently the two would begin a long standing jam session familiarity that lasted for a number of years.

Similarly, Carlson's familiarity with the Brothers Dixon began as a jam session with a few friend but eventually grew to a more serious group. It was around this time that Mark’s songwriting and vocal charisma eventually landed him the role of lead singer. Carlson later brought in longtime jam session friend Tony “Duke” Bowler to play bass, and Jimmy “JJ” Johnson, Gregg’s childhood friend, would step in to play lead guitar.

Through many years of changing venues, practice spaces and the most recent Coronavirus quarantine, Rack House Rebellion has managed to stay together and remain comitted to entertaining audiences with exciting takes on old classics as well as their own material.
