Pioneering folk musicians David Wax<\/strong> and Suz Slezak<\/strong> are the plucky husband-wife duo behind the eclectic, exuberant \u201cMexo-Americana\u201d band David Wax Museum.<\/strong> After 14 relentless years touring the country and world, half of them with their two young children in tow, COVID\u2019s abrupt disruption in March 2020 created a first jarring, then welcome creative pause for the Charlottesville, Virginia-based band. <\/p>\n

“A band that joyfully celebrates and preserves the heart of Americana music.\u201d<\/p>\n

            World Cafe<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the pandemic, the ascendant band was enjoying newfound success with their 2019 first label release Line of Light<\/em>, subsequent national TV debut on CBS This Morning: Saturday<\/strong>, and three distinct features on NPR\u2019s World Cafe<\/strong>. They built bridges performing at the wedding of Democratic presidential hopeful (now Transportation Secretary) Pete Buttigieg<\/strong> and his husband Chasten–and then in 2021 their plaintive ballad \u201cBig Sur\u201d debuted during the marriage scene on Netflix #1 show, Firefly Lane.<\/strong> David Wax Museum even had a big new bombastic studio album with their boisterous six-piece band in the can, but then the sudden shutdown temporarily shelved it, forcing David and Suz to unpack their toiletries bag, park their tired tour van in the driveway, and finally tuck their children into their own beds, for months on end, for the young family\u2019s first time.   As Suz trellised cucumbers and butternut squash, and quilted with their kids, David quickly converted their cramped, dormered attic room into an intimate performance space. <\/p>\n

“Their blend of Americana with regional music of Mexico is unlike anything you\u2019ve heard.”<\/p>\n

            CBS THIS MORNING<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The hard-working pair immediately took to touring the live-stream stages of Facebook, Instagram YouTube Live and Zoom when all their beloved, well-trod venues, from D.C.\u2019s esteemed 9:30 Club<\/strong> to Philadelphia\u2019s Johnny Brenda<\/strong>\u2019s, shuttered overnight. Such creative constraints laid the groundwork for the band\u2019s most fruitful period ever. <\/p>\n

On April 16, 2021, David Wax Museum self-released Euphoric Ouroboric,<\/em> one of four records the band made during quarantine and the band\u2019s first foray into the experimental world of D.I.Y. home recording. Producer and longtime collaborator Alec Spiegelma<\/strong>n (Okkervil River<\/strong>, Kevin Morby<\/strong>, Pokey LaFarge<\/strong>) blended drum machine loops with human performances, blurring the lines to chart new sonic territory for the band.<\/p>\n

With the pandemic slowly releasing its grasp on the world, venues around the country started to reopen. A few weeks ago, as a last-minute addition joined <\/span>The Wood Brothers<\/span><\/strong> at The 9:30 Club. This performance enthralled and captivated the capacity crowd. With a critically acclaimed performance behind them, David and Suz once again pack their tour van and embark on a Mid-Atlantic and Northeast tour.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are incredibly excited to see them performing at Jammin Java<\/strong> on March 11th<\/strong>. Trust us when we say that this is a band you do not want to miss! Please check their <\/span>website’s tour page<\/span><\/a> for more performance dates.<\/span><\/p>\n
