"Why isn't David Wilcox a big star? For more than a decade, the 39-year-old singer has toured the country solo, accompanying himself on guitar, telling stories and performing his music to adoring audiences.

Performing Songwriter magazine says he is "a near deity in the acoustic music world." – Jonathan Karp, The Washington Post
