We’re delighted to welcome H!M favourite Withered Hand to Kamera!Withered Hand is the pseudonym of Edinburgh-based singer-songwriter Dan Willson. Since the release of his debut album Good News in 2009, Dan has become a celebrated figure in the Scottish music scene and further afield. A well-travelled touring singer-songwriter, he has quietly amassed a devoted cult fanbase while staying true to a singular artistic vision.
A strident second album, New Gods, in 2014 propelled Withered Hand into the charts, featuring appearances by friends, luminaries and supporters from the Scottish music scene, from Belle & Sebastian to Frightened Rabbit to The Vaselines and beyond. A long-awaited third Withered Hand album, How To Love, was released in 2023, again to widespread critical acclaim.
Dan’s subsequent collaboration with Mercury Prize nominated English singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams resulted in last year’s album Willson Williams – shortlisted for both Scottish Album of the Year and UK Americana Album of the Year 2024.
Dan is currently working on a fourth Withered Hand LP with his friend and mentor King Creosote, due for release in late 2025.
Dan has been guest tutor on Songwriting Workshops at Moniack Mhor – Scotland’s Centre of Creative Writing, Arvon Writing Foundation at Totleigh Barton and Arvon Lumb Bank and is an advocate of the power of music and creativity in recovery, healing and growth.
