Musician

Composer and saxophonist, Dan Wilkins has a new self-titled album of original music out on the PM Records label, with Horizons Quartet. Wilkins, who grew up in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, went on to study saxophone at Manhattan School of Music in 2013, learning from teachers Steve Wilson, Rich Perry, Phil Markowitz and Garry Dial.

He now resides in Pennsylvania, where he educates and performs, both locally and internationally, often with his father Skip Wilkins. The pair have three albums out – 'Someday', released in 2019 on Deer Head Records, with bassist Tony Marino, and drummer Bill Goodwin; 'Czech Wishes,' also released in 2019 on New Port Line, recorded in the Czech Republic with a cast of young prominent Czech musicians; and 'Father and Son,' released on Steeplechase LookOut, featuring bassist Scott Lee and drummer Jeff Hirshfield.

Wilkins’ most recent project, Horizons Quartet, features a multigenerational cast with pianist/collaborator James Collins, alongside veteran bassist Gene Perla, and Philadelphian drum maestro Byron Landham
