Биография

David Wax & Suz Slezak, the plucky husband-wife duo behind the eclectic “Mexo-Americana” band David Wax Museum, are releasing their exuberant new album, You Must Change Your Life.    Produced by Dan Molad (of Lucius, Coco, Chimney), these technicolor tracks capture—then transcend—bedrock elements of the band’s 15-year recording career with ancient, ever-relevant rhythms of traditional Mexican music, mixed with amber pop hues emanating from an AM radio circa 1975, and unabashed rock riffs—all united with interlacing, seductive harmonies.    Co-fronted by multi-instrumentalist Suz Slezak w/ her raucous accordion & sublime fiddling along with the charismatic energy of Wax, the on-stage chemistry of this band is both captivating and intimate. Since their early debut as a buzz band at the revered Newport Folk Festival, Wax and Slezak have reached through TV and across radio airwaves, transmitting their dynamism on CBS: This Morning, Tiny Desk Concert and World Cafe. They have soundtracked love stories on & off screens, from the Netflix #1 show Firefly Lane to the wedding of Chasten & Pete Buttigieg.  With NPR hailing them as "pure, irresistible joy" & The Guardian heralding their music "global crossover at its best," they've toured the world w/ their two young children in tow & have shared stages with The Avett Brothers, Los Lobos, The Wood Brothers, Old 97's, Buena Vista Social Club, Guster, Josh Ritter, Gregory Alan Isakov, Watchhouse.
