by Roxanne Blanford Simon Wilcox is the daughter of Canadian blues/ folk-rock icon David Wilcox (with whom she has often performed). It isn't hard to see that the acorn did not fall far from the tree, as Simon embarked on her own musical career throughout the late 1990's, first as a member of the Canadian band, Exovedate, then on her own as a solo artist. Her musical style blends rock, hazy jazz and confrontational/confessional blues. Simon Wilcox has performed primarily throughout her native Toronto, but 2000 will undoubtedly see her take her unique style beyond the Canadian border to showcase her debut, Mongrel of Love.
