DAVID
WILCOX
For over fifteen years, singer-songwriter-guitarist
David Wilcox has been making music that navigates through the static of
modern life, toward some better place. The result is a growing and devoted
audience, as well as enormous critical regard.
Rolling Stone
calls him "unjustly neglected," while the New York Times has
proclaimed him "a star waiting to be discovered." Performing Songwriter
magazine describes him as "a near deity in the acoustic music world." With a style the Boston Globe
describes as representing "the best of pop and modern folk aesthetics,"
Wilcox writes songs that are wake up calls to the heart, balm for the soul. Possessed of a gentle baritone that's
sweet as honey, a virtuoso with the capo, he's a masterful performer that
critics have compared to Picasso and Ken Griffey Jr. Yet he's also witty,
literate and complicated, the way that Dar
Williams and Richard Shindell are.
Like them, he's as likely to quote Stanislavsky or Paul Tillich as he is
Springsteen or Woody Guthrie. Candid and charming, David Wilcox can not only
turn a smart phrase, he can match it to an unforgettable melody. You need to
see David Wilcox, because getting to see a master craftsman at the top of
his game is rare. The sheer beauty of his art will blow you away.
Note | The first set of this evening-length concert will be broadcast
live on Iowa Public Radio's Live from Studio One.
