Dan Wilson and Those Pretty Wrongs – Benefit Show on 11/07
There are still some tickets left for the benefit show I’m playing with Those Pretty Wrongs (original Big Star drummer Jody Stephens & guitarist Luther Russell). The show is on Saturday 11/07 at the historic Ivar Theater in Hollywood and will benefit The Autism Think Tank. I’ll be performing a set on my own and am really excited to sing some songs with Jody & Luther as well. We’ll also have a special guest for the evening, Susanna Hoffs of The Bangles!

Whiteboard Interview & Talk Music Podcast!
Here’s an interview I did entirely with drawings on a whiteboard. Such a clever series they’re doing!
I also recently had the chance to chat with Scott Cowie for his Talk Music podcast about my song-a-day project, my time working with Rick Rubin, and some songwriters I admire.
Review of Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell
Talkhouse Music asked me to review an upcoming album release that I was excited about, and I jumped at the chance to talk about Sufjan Steven‘s newest record, Carrie & Lowell. I have a long history of admiration of Sufjan’s music and this new material is a deeply moving collection of lyrically unrestrained songwriting and understated grooves.

February Shows – a few tickets left!
Just a quick note to let you know that tickets for my east coast “Words & Music by Dan Wilson” shows are going fast! In fact, we just released a few more tickets for my Boston show, which was previously sold out. So, if you haven’t had a chance to pick any up for yourself yet, there are still some available at the links below.
My Illustrated Lyric Videos
Some of the work that I’m the most happy about from the last year are the three illustrated lyric videos that I made for songs from my latest solo album, Love Without Fear. I know a lot of you have seen the videos for “Disappearing” and “A Song Can Be About Anything” already, and now I’ve released a new one for my song “Love Without Fear.” I love seeing them side by side. Creating these pieces was a completely new kind of challenge for me, surprisingly complex and difficult but very fun.
D.A. Wallach and Dan Wilson song “Feel”
My friend D.A. Wallach has released his debut solo album, Time Machine! This is his first non-Chester French release and it’s beautiful.
UK & European Tour Dates
I’m pleased to announce some upcoming UK and European “Words & Music by Dan Wilson” tour dates in October! You can find event and ticket info for all of my shows on my events page. I’m really looking forward to revisiting some of these cities and playing some of these venues for the first time.
