Presents Series: David Wax Museum

Get up and jump! We really think you’ll be doing so if you attend Presents Series #7 by none other than David Wax Museum! For those in the know, you know! For those who haven’t yet found them in front of you, you’re in for such an energetic treat! From stages like Newport Folk Fest to intimate concerts near and far, please help us welcome touring troubadours David & Suz as we bring them up from Virginia, one month following the release of their soon-to-come new album, You Must Change Your Life ! With singles already trickling out on their socials and such a fine bed of previous material, this is a thrill to be had.

Background: For Wax, music has guided every step he holds sacred; he’s followed its palpable power, abiding by its requisite unpredictability. After graduating at the top of his class at Harvard, he wandered off an academic path to southern Mexico, finding what he calls “a clear before/after moment in my life.” There, he studied folk music “at the feet of the masters” and internalized structures and rhythms that continue to drive the band today. He and Slezak fell in love on their first national tour, setting in motion a future full of vivid waking dreams. Together (now with their two children in tow) they’ve logged 1,500 shows in every corner of the globe. From the back of a pick-up truck in Nome, Alaska at a solstice parade, to a surreal moment in a tent filled with a thousand Czechs hollering along to their iconic song “Harder Before It Gets Easier,” these dreams continue to unfold for Wax and Slezak.
