David Wilcox August 17, 2011

Folk musician David Wilcox is known for his layered approach to songwriting, each song starring deeply emotional characters you not only relate to, but who you actually might know or be related to. A highly gifted fingerpicker, his guitar work is often compared to Nick Drake and Joni Mitchell. He’s got a sharp wit, a Zen-like stage presence and an inspiring storytelling ability that’s made for StageOne.

“A prolific songwriter and folk artist.” – New York Times

"Wilcox uses extended metaphors and beautifully detailed imagery in lyrics that are far more compassionate and philosophic than self-absorbed ... Indeed, as steeped in romance as most popular music is, it rarely speaks directly to issues of loneliness, intimacy and commitment – let alone mortality and inner fortitude. Wilcox does this with sensitivity, analytic zeal and subtle emotional force." – Rolling Stone
