As life-affirming as music gets? - The Herald
?The UK?s best lyricist? - King Creosote
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 4th Withered Hand LP with his friend and mentor King Creosote, due for release in late 2025.
