Topics folk music, songwriting, live performances, music lessons, artist collaborations

There are songwriters who chronicle life; David Wilcox metabolizes it. He has long been a quiet force in American folk music - a musician’s musician, a writer’s writer, and a seeker whose gift lies in making the personal feel universal. With The Way I Tell the Story (2025), Wilcox proves that resilience isn’t just a survival skill—it’s an art form. The music he’s creating now comes from a place that can’t be faked. A string of acclaimed albums has refined his reputation as a songwriter who knows how to say hard things in soft, lasting ways. Over the years he’s shared stages and collaborations with artists like Shawn Colvin, Patty Larkin, and John Gorka. Wilcox’s influence runs deep, especially among younger artists trying to build something real, and his music still resonates. His songs remain a rare kind of company. Not flashy. Just deeply, generously alive. “David Wilcox’s ongoing musical journey is compelling and richly deserving of a listen.” - Rolling Stone
