Ian Wilson

Ian Wilson is a keyboard-wielding singer-songwriter transplanted from Boston to Chicago. Originally trained in jazz, showtunes, and classical music, Ian fell prey to girl rock and internet radio, and eventually Virginia Woolf novels and trashy gay romance films. On various occurrences of his birthday, Martha Stewart has gone to jail, Jacques Derrida has died, and the Great Chicago Fire has started. He loves Derrida, Chicago, and sometimes fire, but is indifferent to Stewart and never likes jail. On airplanes he prefers the window seat and on road trips he prefers I-90, listening to alt-rock women of the 1990s..."and the other one's playing a piano."
Ian is also one-sixth of Chicago's favorite orchestral-pop sextet, Canasta .

"Wilson's clear mastery of piano composition and sharp songwriting is reminiscent of his early classically-deviant influences"
--EDGE Chicago
"...the debut of someone who I'd definitely like to hear more from...a welcome voice in the queer music scene and a positive sign of what's to come from Wilson"
--The Bilerico Project
"skillful piano playing over a deeply personal lyrical presentation...hauntingly moving"
--Illinois Entertainer
"I'm sure you have better things to do with your time..."
