David Wax Museum - 3.23 @ Babeville
7pm. Babeville at the ninth ward
David Wax Museum is a folk and roots rock band blending traditional Mexican Son music with Americana in what they call “Mexo-Americana.” The band had its breakthrough after winning a contest for a spot at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival. Paste Magazine dubbed the band “the breakout act of the festival.” In 2011, the band released the critically acclaimed album Everything Is Saved featuring the song “Born with a Broken Heart.” That song won song of the year at the Boston Music Awards. Rob Kirkpatrick of the Huffington Post called them “The best band you might not know”. Co-founders David Wax and Suz Slezak formed the band as friends in 2009, but since then have become husband and wife. Their newest album Guesthouse melds its signature acoustic sound with layers of percussion and synthesizers.
