Singer-Songwriter, Americana | Hootenanny Cafe Mini Concerts
Online and on the radio, NY See Map |
 On The Way I Tell the Story, David Wilcox walks the line between hope and heartbreak, and it does so with the kind of precision that only happens when someone’s actually been through it. And Wilcox has been through it. In recent years, his wife’s Parkinson’s diagnosis has reframed everything—his perspective, his process, his writing. “Times get tough, and music gets good,” he says, which might as well be the thesis of The Way I Tell the Story. This is music about surviving with your heart intact, told with the ease of someone who’s spent his life learning how.
“I’m all in for using music as a way to gain clarity and emotional maturity,” Wilcox says. “I believe that doing the work of exploring your heart—really going into the dark parts where the light hasn’t reached—creates emotional fitness that gives us access to strength of character.” It’s music, he says, that gives us the subtle discernment we need for navigating toward a better life.
