DAVID WAX MUSEUM

Event information

"If it gets the airplay it deserves, this could be the unexpected hit of the summer. Boston-based David Wax and Suz Slezak mix brassy or accordion-backed Mexican themes and Americana with indie rock to create a fusion that is as cheerfully infectious as it is original. Wax has an relaxed vocal style and plays guitars and keyboards while Suz adds an Appalachian edge with her classy vocal harmonies, fiddle and autoharp, as well as the insistent rattle of the quijada de burro, the traditional donkey's jawbone percussion, which helps to drive on the light, insistent rhythm patterns. Sturdy pop melodies meet slinky percussion and epic instrumental work from a three-piece brass section, and songs such as Harder Before It Gets Easier and Vivian are global crossover at its best." - 4/5 THE GUARDIAN

As well as US tours with the Old 97's and The Avett Brothers, David Wax Museum has toured on its own consistently over the last three years, appearing on bills with acts such as The Low Anthem, Carolina Chocolate Drops and Rhett Miller. Those years of touring culminated in an appearance at the Newport Folk Festival this past summer, where the Boston Herald hailed the Museum's "rowdy, frisky folk . . . it electrified the crowd" and NPR featured the Museum on its All Songs Considered: Newport Highlights.
