David Wilcox
Studio Concert Series: David Wilcox
Thursday, October 26, 2006
A concert to remember! Blue Rock was the place to be for this songwriting tour de force. We were packed with wonderful folks who lavished soulful attention upon David and his music, toured the studios, made friends, and enjoyed a boggling array of sweets and coffees. Donations helped support the artist and our new Wimberley Community Center.
Wilcox impressed us with kindness, candor, and insight. His guitar playing was flawless, his voice soaring, and his performance absolutely rang true. He sang several new gems and also wrote one here in the Quiet House cabin. Among the highlights were a tongue-in-cheek “Waffle House,” and a moving “Show the Way.” He sang other classics as well – “Eye of the Hurricane,” “Rusty Old American Dream,” and “Language of the Heart” – and delivered them with power and finesse. Our tech team captured HD video, a beautiful audio recording of the event, and a morning after interview as well. David’s candid remarks about the creative life will be featured in a future issue of our art journal, The Blue Rock Review. Thanks to all of our volunteers who made this event smooth and gracious! Thanks also to Brian Oakley and Nathan Brown for your terrific photos. Wilcox’s website (http://www.davidwilcox.com) is particularly well done and he keeps it up to date. David’s visit reminded us again of the power of song to illuminate the heart and to forge human connections. We look forward to another encounter with this brilliant creative light.

I have seen David perform on a couple of occasions past, but I have never SEEN David like we saw him THIS night! - What a rare combination of talet and venue. It made for a collection of moments that was as unique and memorable as any moment can be… Thanks Blue Rock!
