Dan Wilson Organ Trio

Guitarist Dan Wilson's musical path began in the church community of Akron, Ohio, where gospel first shaped his sound and purpose. Channeling the lineage of Wes Montgomery and George Benson while absorbing blues, hip-hop, and the phrasing of great horn players, Wilson has developed what many describe as a deeply lyrical and personal voice. After graduating from Hiram College, he made his recording debut with Joe McBride and rose to international prominence through his work with Joey DeFrancesco, earning a GRAMMY® nomination for Project Freedom. Wilson has also toured with Christian McBride, who produced his acclaimed album "Vessels of Wood and Earth" for Brother Mister Productions. Having shared the stage with leading jazz luminaries, Wilson continues to balance performing, bandleading, and education, bringing what he calls "a personal dialect" to the modern guitar-organ tradition.
