It's been nearly a dozen years since David Wax and Suz Slezak played their first show together, and 7 years since they were here in the Wood River Valley playing the Sun Valley Opera House as well as at 5 of our local schools!
Their partnership had led to seven records, multiple Top 20 chart placements, performances 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.
"This band started as a DIY project where we basically said 'yes' to the universe, never turned down a gig, and happily played people's living rooms," remembers Wax. "It was just the two of us, building a band and a life together."
Now, with the pandemic, David and Suz are back to playing in people's living rooms, virtually, of course! We invite you to have them to your living room on Wednesday, June 24 at 7pm MDT. We'll have a conversation, some music, and they'll field your questions, moderated by Kristine Bretall, Director of Performing Arts at the Sun Valley Museum of Art.
