With a professional musical career spanning 3 decades, D’Arcy Wickham brings maturity and depth to his performing and songwriting talents. "He showcases an exceptional facility with all styles of guitar picking, from elegant folk to atmospheric blues, and with his gifts as a composer of comfortingly retro, acoustic-based pop songs. He’s in fine voice as well: a full, truly pitched baritone graces his compositions." (Greg Quill, Toronto Star)
