“What first caught my attention about Doug was his acoustic guitar playing... a clear, refined, finger picking style that pays attention to detail... then the well crafted songs with lyrics from a poet's heart... and finally that honeyed voice, with touches of the travelers weariness and hard earned wisdom.”

Music that will stick in your head - as well as your heart.
Over the years, Wilcox has provided support for or shared a stage with a diverse cross-section of musical talent including Peter Mayer,
Tom Prasada-Rao, Jen Chapin, L.J. Booth, Stacey Earle, Pierce Pettis, and Peter Case.
In recent years, Doug has put a focus on bringing music to the masses in a natural and organic way with an effort to include a regular schedule of
free-to-the-public shows, outdoors whenever possible. Thus widening his umbrella of fans while including listeners who might not, for a variety of reasons, attend a traditional sit-down concert.
"Doug Wilcox has the soul of a poet and the songs to prove it. He immediately became a favorite guest on the Acoustic Highway.”
- Barry Graham, Folk music producer / WHRV FM
“Wilcox's honey soaked vocals can exhibit swagger and occasionally a sadness.....”
- Brian Tucker, Bootleg magazine
