David Wilcox
September 27 at 8 pm
Considered a “songwriter’s songwriter,” David Wilcox’s lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, all of which give him a range and tenderness rare in folk music. Artists such as k.d. lang have covered his songs and Acoustic Guitar described him as “James Taylor combined with the husky breathiness more reminiscent of Nick Drake.” In addition to his writing prowess, his skills as a performer and storyteller are unmatched. Now 17 albums into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans, David Wilcox has a fearless ability to mine the depths of joy, sorrow, and everything in between—all tempered by a quick, wry wit.
