Lauded by Rolling Stone, MOJO and Jarvis Cocker, Withered Hand (aka Dan Willson) is a member of Scotland’s infamous Fence Collective and his brilliant debut album, Good News, continues to win fans and crop up in unlikely places (including Skins, MTV), while this year’s Heart Heart EP further showcased Willson’s knack for glorious, wry, ravaged alt-rock. Dan has toured widely both solo and with his band since 2009, both in UK and mainland Europe and USA.
'Sometimes it takes one spellbinding live performance before an artist’s seemingly obvious-to-everyone-else talent really sinks in. I’ve always appreciated Dan Willson’s songcraft in a rather passive way, but I walked away from this Withered Hand solo show a fully subscribed fan – and I wasn’t the only one’ – The Scotsman
‘Beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks’ – MOJO
