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."  Prior to that, he was a member of the band Trip Shakespeare, whose longhaired psychedelia influenced a generation of Midwestern bands long after their breakup in the early 90s. Since Semisonic, Wilson has released three solo albums: Free Life (produced with Rick Rubin), Live at the Pantages, and Love Without Fear.  He has also become a highly sought-after songwriting collaborator, working with a diverse group of artists which also includes: Adele, the Dixie Chicks, Carole King, Pink, Dierks Bentley, Birdy, Spoon, John Legend, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Jim James, Taylor Swift, Nas, Josh Groban, Weezer, and many others.

Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories” or Flannery O’Connor’s “Wise Blood” than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.

His debut solo full-length album, Curse Your Branches (out now on Barsuk), is a masterwork by a modern American poet at the height of his powers. Paste Magazine called him one of the “100 Best Living Songwriters”. This record is the deepest and most explicit exploration of his struggles with faith and a meditation on all things passed between the generations.
