David Wilcox Live

October 17, 2009
Saturday | 8 pm

In a fresh and fun evening, David will present a vibrant solo concert at the Mitchell Performing Arts Center with songs from his latest release, Open Hand.

With two concerts this October singer-songwriter David Wilcox brings two different sides of his musical ingenuity to Bryn Athyn. Presented by Bryn Athyn College, Mitchell Performing Arts Center, and Glencairn Museum, David Wilcox will perform both solo and with singer-songwriter Nance Pettit of Asheville, NC.

As Wilcox's career has evolved, in appearances everywhere from seminaries to theaters, and biker bars to yoga centers, he's found an audience ready to receive his particular brand of road wisdom.

"I have always chosen to play in settings where, at the end of the night, I am more hopeful about what music can do for the heart than I was at the beginning," he said. "There's a reason so many of these songs are about joy and what it means to be really alive," David says. "There's been a change in perspective, how I see the world. These songs are fun and they offer a way of seeing this life as a heartfelt adventure. My favorite songs are the ones that have been to the depths of the darkness and shine a light on the way through." The music is a reflection of a life well-lived.
