David Waz Museum

Hailed by NPR Music as “pure, irresistible joy” and praised by The Guardian as "global crossover at its best...as cheerfully infectious as it is original," David Wax Museum’s eclectic and exuberant sound blends the ancient and ever-relevant rhythms of traditional Mexican music with amber pop hues and unabashed rock riffs, all tethered together by seductive harmonies. Co- fronted by multi-instrumentalist Suz Slezak with her raucous accordion and sublime fiddling along with the charismatic energy of David Wax, their on-stage chemistry is both captivating and intimate.

Since their early breakout as a buzz band at the revered Newport Folk Festival, the band has toured the world with their two young children in tow, performing at festivals in North America and Europe, and sharing stages with The Avett Brothers, Los Lobos, The Wood Brothers, Old 97’s, Buena Vista Social Club, Gregory Alan Isakov, Watchouse, Josh Ritter, and Guster, among others. Transmitting their kinetic energy in platforms including CBS This Morning: Saturday, Tiny Desk Concert, and NPR’s World Cafe, they have also soundtracked love stories on and off screens, from the Netflix #1 show Firefly Lane to the wedding of US Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. Canada's CKUA Radio praised their latest album You Must Change Your Life as "truly transformative -- a colorful, multi-layered dream world which speaks to both the most earthly and the most ineffable sides of our human existence.”

“Another genius album from David Wax Museum.” — The Boston Herald

“On the exhilarating You Must Change Your Life, this Virginia twosome celebrates pure pop music in all its wondrous diversity, mixing traditional Mexican ingredients and mainstream guitars and keyboards to create polished songs with a bracing immediacy.” — No Depression
