David Wax Museum with Ian Thomas Alexy

“Joyful Mexo-Americana fusion, with virtuosic musical skill and virtuous harmonies.” (TIME.com)

"Whether it’s just David Wax on his jarana (a Mexican instrument similar to a guitar) and Suz Slezak playing the fiddle or the quijada (an instrument made out of a donkey’s jawbone) or with a full band including drums, an upright bass and even a dancer, David Wax Museum always puts on captivating set. At first it’s easy to be skeptical of these peculiar instruments, but after you see them played you’ll be wondering why more bands don’t implement the jarana or the quijada." (#8, The Best Live Acts of 2011, Paste Magazine, Adam Vitcavage)

A hit at the 2011 Winnipeg Folk Festival, and one of NPR's top folk acts of 2011, David Wax Museum combine infectious son Mexicano with an indie folk vibe, with utterly joyful results.
