Tag: Daniel Knox

Daniel Knox came up to me at the Mahoning Drive-in back in 2021 and asked me if I was interested in speaking with him about a David Lynch event in Chicago for 2022. We then revived it again in Dallas in 2023. So when 2025 came around, I thought I was prepared for what Daniel Knox does at these Lynch Film Fests. I was not prepared. He out did himself this time. We had a guest every day. We set a world record by showing everything listed on Lynch’s IMDB. We made over 11,000 ticket holders feel wonderful and strange. And they liked it.

Listed below is everything that Daniel scheduled and played. There are web links to Youtube where you can watch the Q&A’s. (You can just go to this playlist and watch them all.) It was the most fun I’ve had at any Lynch event ever. It was a complete success and I sure hope you can join us when we do it again. Thanks, Scott.

Daniel Knox

ig/fb/twitter: @danielknoxmusic

“His is a majestic body of work that demands repeated listening. 9/10”

– Loud and Quiet 

“A journey of sublime disaster and misfortune”

– The Line of Best Fit

“Knox is a masterly narrator bringing a refreshing directness to his filmic tales of nocturnal wanderings, lonely roads, and mysterious figures in parked cars.”

– Uncut

“Won’t You Take Me With You is Knox in typically epic form, a suspenseful fusion of country-folk ballads and Twin Peaks cabaret.”

– Mojo

“Chasescene confirms Knox as a master storyteller, and is a record to settle into on dark nights”

– The Guardian

With a baritone as dynamic as it is indestructible, Daniel Knox narrates compositions with a perverse and sometimes comical wit, guiding the listener through sprawling worlds that exist just out of frame.

His work has inspired a diverse cast of admirers and collaborators that lie inside and outside his realm of alternative Americana, such as Jarvis Cocker, Thor Harris (Swans, Freakwater), Ralph Carney (Tom Waits, The B-52’s), Nina Nastasia, David Lynch, and The Handsome Family, with recent performances including the likes of Rufus Wainwright, Andrew Bird, Rasputina, and Swans.

Daniel Knox’s most recent release Won’t You Take Me With You comes on the heels of his mini-album of original material, I Had A Wonderful Time, and it’s predecessor – his critically acclaimed grand holistic album Chasescene, which confirmed his position as both a “rare talent” (Loud And Quiet) and as a master storyteller (The Observer).

Won’t You Take Me With You is Knox at his most accessible and assured – the unconventional beauty of his piano style fitting perfectly with long dream-like stretches of synthesizers while Knox’s rich baritone buries deeper within the music. It exists as a line in the sand and a turning point, a perfect entry point into looking back on a fascinating career while at the same time the moment to strap in for whatever is to come.

In 2024 Knox co-wrote and performed the song I Saw You with composer Joseph Bishara (Insidious; The Conjuring) for the Sony Pictures film Tarot.

Daniel Knox lives and works in Porto, Portugal.
