Dan Wicks

For over 3 years, Dan has hosted his popular Music Fishbowl podcast series, a show which continues to engage in lively discussions with musicians, industry professionals and music enthusiasts alike. Today, Dan extends his talents with his weekly review videos at Northern Exposure, championing independent artists and venues as he goes. Most recently, Dan has been taking over the airwaves, hosting The Americana Fishbowl show on Islington Radio. What many observers might not know about Dan is that his passion for music extends beyond opinion, and has been a musician and songwriter for most of his life. Picking up the guitar at the tender age of eight, Dan has gradually learned other instruments, eventually venturing into songwriting as a teenager. His collaboration on Fumez' album, The Final Chapter, ignited his passion to share his own music, a road which has lead him straight to here. A unique transition from journalist to artist showcases Dan's multifaceted talent and deep connection to the music he loves, promising an exciting journey ahead for both him and his new audience. His debut single 'Back to Cheltenham', invites listeners into his unique world of Folky Americana which sets the stage for his anticipated album, Metroland - scheduled for release in 2026.
