Words & Music by Dan Wilson
?Words & Music by Dan Wilson? is an evening of songs and stories that pulls back the curtain on the art and practice of songwriting. Between stripped-down renditions of some of the modern-day classics he has written on his own and with such collaborators as Adele, Taylor Swift, the Dixie Chicks and Carole King, Grammy winning singer-songwriter and producer Dan Wilson shares his insights into songwriting and relates the moments of discovery that led to them.
Dan Wilson is best known as the lead singer of the band Semisonic, for which he wrote the Grammy-nominated smash "Closing Time" as well as other international hits including "Secret Smile" and "Chemistry." Since Semisonic, Dan has released two solo albums: Free Life (produced with Rick Rubin) and Live at the Pantages. He has also become a highly sought-after songwriting collaborator, working with a diverse group of artists which also includes: Pink, Dierks Bentley, John Legend, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Jim James, Nas, Josh Groban, Weezer, and many others.
Dan Wilson is releasing his third solo album Love Without Fear on April 15th. The album ?is about being left alone and desperately wishing for connection and togetherness,? explains Wilson. ?The sound lives at the intersection of Americana and Beatles-influenced rock and roll, a little bit of twang and a lot of cinematic emotion.?
