David Wilcox with special guest Jean Rohe
David Wilcox is a revered folk musician with an effortless talent for spinning lyrics that quietly cut deep, crafting melodies that seamlessly ride the plot twists and turns. He observes the human condition from both the nerve center and the outside looking in. That kind of storytelling is certain to become a good friend. “For any singer-songwriter to be able to muster passion, hope and grace after 15 years in the unsung folk genre is an accomplishment, and as such, David Wilcox is infinitely accomplished.” — Paste Magazine “Factor in a strong acoustic guitar technique that eschews simplistic strumming in favor of expressive finger-picking, and a pleasant voice that sounds like a more insistent, fuller bodied James Taylor, and you have a solid solo-acoustic performer who will make his way even if he doesn’t serve ear candy.” — Los Angeles Times“The concert was an incredibly cleansing experience. Songs with passionate, beautiful lyrics sung in a soulful voice, backed by crisp acoustic guitar arrangements that took me on an emotional roller-coaster ride (I know, kind of sounds like a wine steward describing a fine Burgundy, right?)” — Kevin Nealon in Spin MagazineThe fabled singer-songwriter returns to the Alberta Rose, once again supported by the wonderful Jean Rohe.
