David Wax Museum (duo) in Charlottesville
Here's your chance to catch a rare, intimate performance by David Wax Museum's founders, David Wax and Suz Slezak. For this special concert, the duo returns to their acoustic roots and will be playing songs from their full catalog.
It's been over a dozen years since David Wax and Suz Slezak played their first show
together, kicking off a partnership that's led to seven records, multiple Top 20 chart
placements, tours alongside contemporaries like The Avett Brothers and
heroes like Los Lobos, and most importantly a family of four. As that family has
grown, so has the band's sound. Filled with husband-and-wife vocal harmonies,
Mexican stringed instruments, melodic hooks, and blasts of brass, David Wax
Museum's albums fly the worldly flag for a brand of Americana that reaches far beyond
American borders.
Early in 2018, after honing a new batch of songs on the road, they found themselves
making music in the Nashville-based home studio of Carl Broemel (My Morning
Jacket's, Ray LaMontagne) who produced David Wax Museum's most compelling work
to date, Line of Light. Released in 2019 by the Austin-based indie label Nine Mile
Records, the album refocuses on the band's two co-founders. Weaving the personal with
the political, the global with the spiritual, Line of Light chronicles the landscapes and
longings that connect us all.
Inspired by current events and personal challenges, Line of Light offers its own mix of
message and melody. This is honest, heartfelt music about sweeping ideas, anchored
in sharp songwriting and uncluttered by heavy-handed studio production. For those
who caught one of David Wax Museum's earliest shows long before the group stole
the show at the Newport Folk Festival, toured alongside Buena Vista Social Club, and
earned an audience that's as international as the band's own sound the album feels
like a homecoming of sorts, sweetened with contributions from David Wax Museum's
full lineup but still grounded in the raw power of the band's two-member core. It's a
bright album for murky times, a reminder of music's ability to drive out the darkness,
one song at a time.
