David Wilcox (born 1949 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian rock musician.
He is known for such albums as Out Of The Woods (1977, 1983), My Eyes Keep Me In Trouble (1983), Bad Reputation (1984), Breakfast At The Circus (1987), The Natural Edge (1989), Thirteen Songs (1996), and Rhythm Of Love (2002), most of which were produced by the British artist and record producer Sadia Sadia, who also co-wrote many of the titles on these albums.
Many of David's energetic songs have a heavy blues influence, and include such tunes as "Hot, Hot Papa", "Do the Bearcat", "Layin' Pipe", "Riverboat Fantasy", "Downtown Came Uptown", "That Hypnotizin' Boogie" and "Bad Apple". Near the close of the 2002 Winter Olympics the Canadian figure skating couples pair of Jamie Salé and David Pelletier did a flying demonstration to the Wilcox tune "Rockin' The Boogie". Wilcox continues to be a top attraction on the Festival and Arena circuits around Canada.
Wilcox's daughter Simon Wilcox has become a successful singer-songwriter.
