Mexo-Americana Folk Band David Wax Museum, in Concert

Presented by the Cultural Center of Cape Cod on Wednesday, August 9, at 8pm. Pioneering folk musicians David Wax and Suz Slezak are the plucky husband-wife duo behind the eclectic, exuberant “Mexo-Americana” band David Wax Museum. This ascendant band has enjoyed newfound success with the 2019 first label release “Line of Light” (on Austin’s award-winning Nine Mile Records), subsequent national TV debut on CBS This Morning, and three distinct features on NPR’s World Cafe. They built bridges performing at the wedding of Democratic presidential hopeful (now Transportation Secretary) Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten—and then, in 2021, their plaintive ballad “Big Sur” debuted during the marriage scene on Netflix’s #1 show, Firefly Lane. The hard-working pair took to touring the live-stream stages of Facebook/Instagram/YouTube Live and Zoom when all their beloved, well-trod venues—from D.C.’s esteemed 9:30 Club to Philadelphia’s Johnny Brenda’s—shuttered overnight during the pandemic. On April 16, David Wax Museum self-released “Euphoric Ouroboric,” one of four records the band made during lockdown and the band’s first foray into the experimental world of D.I.Y. home recording. Come enjoy a night of eclectic “Mexo-Americana” folk music. $30. For reservations, visit www.cultural-center.org or call 508-394-7100.
