“David Wilcox is simply one of the most exciting and passionate singer-songwriters touring today,\u201d Elizabethtown College Director of Bowers Writers House and Community Impact, Jesse Waters said. \u201cI’m proud that Elizabethtown College and the Bowers Writers House have the opportunity to showcase his immense talent for both our campus and surrounding communities!”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One of America\u2019s most beloved folk artists, Wilcox has released more than 20 albums that have resonated with a dedicated core of fans and earned praise from national publications such as the New York Times and Rolling Stone throughout a storied 30-plus-year career.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Ohio native with a warm baritone won top honors in the 2018 USA Songwriting Competition for <\/span>\u201cWe Make the Way by Walking\u201d<\/span><\/a> from his album, \u201cThe View From the Edge,\u201d and today, he performs new songs from his latest album, <\/span>\u201cMy Good Friends.\u201d<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

“I’m looking forward to coming to play at Elizabethtown College,\u201d Wilcox said. \u201cI have been enjoying fresh inspiration this fall and I’ll have some brand new songs to sing.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Wilcox found his artistic muse in North Carolina during the mid-1980s and released his debut album, \u201cThe Nightshift Watchman\u201d in 1987. This led to winning the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival in 1988 and a four-album stint with A&M Records, starting with 1989\u2019s, \u201cHow Did You Find Me Here,\u201d which sold 100,000 copies by word of mouth.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
