Fish Creek, Wis. (March 30, 2026) – Singer-songwriter and guitarist David Wilcox will perform in the final concert of the White Gull Inn’s winter concert series on Wednesday, April 8. Tickets for the 7:30 PM concert are $35.
There are songwriters who chronicle life, and then there’s David Wilcox – an artist who metabolizes it. He has long been a quiet force in American folk music, a musician’s musician, a writer’s writer, and seeker whose gift lies in making the personal feel universal.
With the release of The Way I Tell the Story (2025), Wilcox proved, yet again, that resilience isn’t just a survival skill – it’s an art form. The record shimmers with musical sophistication but leaves just enough space for the listener to feel what Wilcox has always done best: tell the truth, gently but without apology.
Wilcox’s career began in earnest in the late 1980’s, when his self-released debut The Nightshift Watchman caught the attention of A&M Records. His major-label debut, How Did You Find Me Here (1989), became an unexpected hit, selling over 100,000 copies largely by word of mouth and live shows alone – an unheard-of feat for a debut folk record. Critics took note of his deft guitar work and emotional clarity, but it was the unassuming wisdom threaded through his lyrics that truly set him apart. Rolling Stone praised his “soulful insight,” while the New York Times called his music “a kind of open-hearted therapy.”
An optional fixed price dinner will be served at 5:30. The menu consists of Italian Sausage Lasagna, served with garlic herb focaccia, tossed salad and Carrot Cake for dessert. $28.95
