With a baritone as dynamic as it is indestructible, Daniel Knox narrates compositions with a perverse and sometimes comical wit, guiding the listener through sprawling worlds that exist just out of frame.
His work has inspired a diverse cast of admirers and collaborators that lie inside and outside his realm of alternative Americana, such as Jarvis Cocker, Thor Harris (Swans, Freakwater), Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, The B-52's), Nina Nastasia, David Lynch, and The Handsome Family, with recent performances including the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Andrew Bird, Rasputina, and Swans.
Daniel Knox's most recent release Won't You Take Me With You comes on the heels of his mini-album of original material, I Had A Wonderful Time, and it's predecessor - his critically acclaimed grand holistic album Chasescene, which confirmed his position as both a "rare talent" (Loud And Quiet) and as a master storyteller (The Observer).
Won't You Take Me With You is Knox at his most accessible and assured - the unconventional beauty of his piano style fitting perfectly with long dream-like stretches of synthesizers while Knox's rich baritone buries deeper within the music. It exists as a line in the sand and a turning point, a perfect entry point into looking back on a fascinating career while at the same time the moment to strap in for whatever is to come.
Daniel Knox lives and works in Porto, Portugal.

Lee Ketch is a singer songwriter from Bartlett, IL. While serving as a member of countless Chicago bands including Mooner, he has stepped forward with a recent solo release, SPIRITUAL MILK FOR AMERICAN BABES. On this record, wild improvisation meets "heartwarming, lived-in" songwriting (Chicago Reader) as Ketch welcomes a host of collaborators to flesh out skeletons of songs into adventurous experiments punctured by moments of folk rock. This performance will feature a full band comprised of Hannah Bureau on violin, Nick Harris on bass and synthesizer, Ethan Parcell on drums and clarinet and Alec Watson on keyboards.
