The David Wilcox Frequently Asked Questions List

VI. David Wilcox personal and miscellaneous


What are DW's next plans?

His newest album, Into The Mystery was just released. Aside from DW's constant touring schedule, further plans are not yet available, but as soon as we know, so will you.


A lot of DW's songs carry religious sentiments. Is he becoming more religious, or is it that he is changing focus in his choice of themes in his songwriting?

It is not a matter of becoming more religious or having a change of focus, but rather David writing what he feels. He neither pounds people over the head with his beliefs nor tries to hide from them, he prefers to let his songs speak for him. Listen to the intro of "Orgasm" on East Asheville Hardware for a better understanding.  Much like the music of U2, DW's music has largely appealed to Contemporary Christian fans, Adult-Alternative fans, American folk fans, and secular music fans alike.


Is DW aware of the discussion concerning recognizing song writers when performing covers? What is his opinion on this? Does he feel you should make mention of the song's origins, and, if not, then why not?

Yes, David is aware of the discussion. He feels strongly in favor of crediting writers, but sometimes gets wrapped up in his performance and spaces out mentioning the writers' names, because he is thinking about the next song. He also always intends to mention that he has CDs for sale and usually forgets to say that too.


Is there other musical talent in DW's family (e.g., Dad or Mom sang or played an instrument?)

No.


What can you tell me about DW's family?

Common knowledge states that he is married to singer-songwriter Nance Pettit and they have a son, Nathan. He has written many songs about his family, including his wife, son, parents and brother. At his manager's request, his personal life is not discussed in the FAQ and his personal contact information is kept private.
