BIO:

Will Knox is an export from London, UK. An alternative-folk, singer/songwriter with influences from Ryan Adams, Nick Drake, Damien Rice and Jose Gonzalez, Will can be found running around in New York City promoting his new EP, ‘Buckled Knees EP’, engineered by Ted Paduck, and mixed by Hun Min Park.
Will’s recent achievements have included becoming a current finalist for the International Songwriting Competition, and being a winner of Berklee College of Music’s ‘Songwriting Competition 2006/7’ & ‘Performing Singer/Songwriter 2007’.
Will and the 6-piece, acoustic band behind the EP (consisting of banjo, cello, violin, guitar, drums and vocals) have been turning many heads over the last year with their trans-Atlantic twist on contemporary folk songwriting, instrumentation, and arranging. Early in 2008 they returned from a tour to the UK, and can now be found promoting their new record up and down the East Coast.

SOME VERY KIND WORDS:

"Will Knox produces songs of intelligence and of an experience that belies his young age. His charming optimism proves to be a staple of his song-writing nuance as he shares his pain and regrets, all the while encouraging each of us to live on through these darker times. His strengths are evident as he takes to the stage to promote his wonderful debut EP ‘Buckled Knees’ - a record that prompts self-exploration, compassion and, ultimately, joy. Backed by a sold five-piece band, Knox produces spellbinding live performances to be cherished and admired. Blessed with his poetic soul, Knox is able to conjure images of romance and beauty armed with only his imagination and written word."

"To label Will Knox as just another UK import simply wouldn’t justify the man’s ability with written word. His songs are clean and delightfully orchestrated but his strengths lay in lyrics of originality that sooth, inspire and encourage..Knox writes with a wisdom and experience that belies his years."
