Cleveland-born David Wilcox was inspired to play guitar after hearing a fellow college student playing in a stairwell. His lyrical insight is matched by a smooth baritone voice, virtuosic guitar chops, and creative open tunings, giving him a range and tenderness that are rare in folk music. He released an independent album in 1987, won the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk award in 1988, and by 1989 he had signed with A&M Records. His first release on the label, How Did You Find Me Here, sold over 100,000 copies the first year largely by word of mouth. Now, 17 albums into a career marked by personal revelation and wildly loyal fans, David continues to find and deliver joy, inspiration, and invention.


Touted by the New York Times as “one of the finest songwriters from Texas,” Slaid returns to the Rubin Museum after sold-out concerts in both 2009 and 2011.
Returning to the Rubin after her striking guest appearance with Rosanne Cash last year, the Grammy and Academy Award nominee Allison Moorer brings us a solo show of her own.
Nicole Atkins has the sort of elegant, super-sized voice that belongs to an earlier era. With her throaty vibrato and lushly orchestrated pop songs, she made her debut in 2006, bringing to mind a blend of Roy Orbison, Loretta Lynn, and Jenny Lewis.
Holly Near's Naked Soul concert celebrates the naked voice. Accompanied by a touch of instrumentation, she presents a unique program created especially for the Rubin Museum, inspired by a Tibetan thangka painting entitled Avanda, or “Noble Deeds.”
Gorgeous three-part harmonies, crisp musicianship, a new Top 40 CD Light in the Sky, and a warm, engaging stage presence.
