David Wilcox is an American folk singer-songwriter often called a "musician's musician" and a "writer's writer," with a rare gift for turning personal experience into songs that feel universal. Rolling Stone has praised his "soulful insight," and The New York Times described his music as "a kind of open-hearted therapy."

Wilcox's self-released debut, The Nightshift Watchman, caught the ear of A&M Records, and his 1989 major-label debut, How Did You Find Me Here, became a word-of-mouth hit, selling more than 100,000 copies largely on the strength of his live shows. Albums including Big Horizon, Turning Point and What You Whispered followed, and in 2018 he took top honors in the USA Songwriting Competition for "We Make the Way by Walking." His songs have been covered by k.d. lang and Tony Rice, he has shared stages with Shawn Colvin, Patty Larkin and John Gorka, and his inventive guitar work is studied by younger players.

His latest album, The Way I Tell the Story (2025), was shaped by recent years in which his wife's Parkinson's diagnosis reset his priorities. As Wilcox puts it, "Times get tough, and music gets good."
