| Description: |
The West End Wednesdays continue with David Wax Museum on Wednesday, August 8, 2018 on the lawn of the Glencoe Mansion, Museum & Gallery in Radford, VA. Radford's Free & Family Friendly concert series brings live music from David Wax Museum. Relax on the grassy nook of the Glencoe Mansion with family and friends. The event is kid friendly, lawn chain friendly and dog friendly! David Wax Museum is a Mexo-Americana band based in Charlottesville, Virginia. "Suz and I started this band as friends," says David Wax, "but now we’re married and have a child and have our family on the road with us. The stakes are different." The roots of David Wax Museum stretch back nearly a decade, and all the way from New England to Mexico. As a student at Harvard, Wax began traveling south of the border to study and immerse himself in the country’s traditional music and culture. Back in Boston, he met fiddler/singer Suz Slezak, whose love of traditional American and Irish folk music fused with Wax’s Mexo-Americana into a singular, energetic blend that captivated audiences and critics alike. Their 2010 breakout performance at the Newport Folk Festival made them the most talked-about band of the weekend, with NPR hailing them as “pure, irresistible joy.” They released a trio of albums that earned escalating raves everywhere from SPIN and Entertainment Weekly (who described them as sounding “like Andrew Bird with a Mexican folk bent”) to the New York Times and The Guardian (which dubbed the music “global crossover at its best”).
