David Wilcox
by Maria Wallis Hespeke
"a blue collar artist"
"a genius"
A superb entertainer. A Master guitar player. A great soulful singer. A unique songwriter.
These are a few of the ways David Wilcox has been described. None of them do him justice. Until you have seen David in concert, you have yet to experience something truly remarkable.
Multiple gold and platinum albums, countless fans of all ages - these are testimony. His music has been skated to by Olympic champions Sale and Pelletier, his songs have appeared in movies like Cocktail with Tom Cruise. Whether it's a backyard barbecue, a TV theme (Street Legal), Carnegie Hall, the Montreux Jazz Festival with John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin - the music of David Wilcox is a blend of rock, blues, country, ragtime and other roots styles that keeps evolving and growing.
