Virginia's Own Virtuoso Duo - David Wax Museum at The Sevareid House

Doors 3:30 pm

Show 4:00 pm

Join us in the living room as we celebrate with David and Suz, the creative geniuses behind David Wax Museum. This is indy-folk like you've never heard before. As Bob Boilen of NPR Music says , "Pure, irrisistable Joy!".

For Wax, music has guided every step he holds sacred; he’s followed its palpable power, abiding by its requisite unpredictability. After graduating at the top of his class at Harvard, he wandered off an academic path to southern Mexico, finding what he calls “a clear before/after moment in my life.” There, he studied folk music “at the feet of the masters” and internalized structures and rhythms that continue to drive the band today. He and Slezak fell in love on their first national tour, setting in motion a future full of vivid waking dreams. Together (now with their two children in tow) they’ve logged 1,500 shows in every corner of the globe. From the back of a pick-up truck in Nome, Alaska at a solstice parade, to a surreal moment in a tent filled with a thousand Czechs hollering along to their iconic song “Harder Before It Gets Easier,”these dreams continue to unfold for Wax and Slezak.

Since their early breakout as a buzz band at the revered Newport Folk Festival, Wax and Slezak have transmitted their kinetic energy in platforms including CBS This Morning: Saturday, Tiny Desk Concert, and NPR’s World Cafe. They have soundtracked love stories on and off screens, from the Netflix #1 show Firefly Lane to the wedding of US Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttigieg. 

It's sure to be a exciting evening in the living room. Don't miss it!
