Singer-songwriter and guitarist David Wilcox will be featured in the opening concert of the 27th season of winter folk concerts at the White Gull Inn in Fish Creek on Nov. 9. Tickets for the 8 pm concert, the first in a series of six, are $16.

Cleveland-born Wilcox released his first album in 1987. He was a winner of the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award in 1988, and by 1989 he had signed with A&M Records. Now, 17 albums into his career, Wilcox continues to tour nationally and internationally.

Wilcox’s lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice and a unique and complex guitar style featuring many open tunings. Wilcox has captured critical acclaim from such publications as the New York Times and Rolling Stone.

Reflecting on well over 20 years of record-making and touring extensively around the US and world, Wilcox said, “Music still stretches out before me like the head-lights of a car into the night. It’s way beyond where I am, but it shows where I’m going.”

An optional pre-concert fixed price dinner will be served at 6 pm. The menu will feature cardamom-scented chicken, sweet corn cakes with shitake mushroom cream, mixed greens salad, and browned butter pumpkin cake for dessert.

Future concerts in the series will include Michael Smith on Dec. 7, Lou and Peter Berryman on Jan. 11, Garnet Rogers on Feb. 22, and the Steel Wheels on March 28.
