He is known as the leader of the band Semisonic, for which he wrote the Grammy-nominated "Closing Time" and the international hit "Secret Smile." Wilson has also released several solo recordings, including the 2014 release ''Love Without Fear''. He was also a member of the Minneapolis psychedelic rock band Trip Shakespeare. Wilson is also an acclaimed co-writer and producer that have earned him two Grammy Awards.〔 His first was the 2007 Song of the Year Grammy for "Not Ready to Make Nice," one of the six songs he co-wrote with the Dixie Chicks for their Album of the Year winning ''Taking the Long Way''. Wilson also shared in the 2012 Grammy for Album of the year for his work as a producer of the hit "Someone Like You," one of the three songs he co-wrote with Adele for her album ''21''. ==Early years== Wilson attended Harvard University, where he studied visual arts with a focus on printmaking and from which he graduated B.A. ''summa cum laude'' in Visual and Environmental Studies in 1983, while he resided in Dunster House. Wilson is an accomplished artist, and has won the Louis Sudler Prize for Outstanding Artistic Talent and Achievement in 1983. While at university, he began collaborating with his brother, singer-songwriter Matt Wilson, who also attended Harvard College. The Wilson brothers played in two bands, Animal Dance and the Love Monster. After college, Wilson pursued his interest in drawing and painting, first in San Francisco and then in Minneapolis. In 1987, Wilson joined the Minneapolis psychedelic band, Trip Shakespeare, which Matt Wilson had founded with bassist John Munson and drummer Elaine Harris. The original three members had already released one record, and now as a quartet, with Wilson on guitar, piano, sharing lead vocal duties with Matt Wilson—with whom Wilson also co-wrote many of the songs—and Munson, the band released three more albums (''Are You Shakespearienced?'', 1988, Gark Records; ''Across the Universe'', 1990, A&M Records; ''Lulu'', 1991, A&M Records) and one EP (''Volt'', 1992, Twin Tone). Since Trip Shakespeare's breakup in 1992, Wilson has continued to collaborate with his brother, including the release of two live albums (''Minneapolis 2010'' and ''Minneapolis 2013''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dan Wilson (musician)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
