The David Wax Museum and Caravan Of Thieves at High Noon Saloon
The David Wax Museum combines traditional Mexican music and indie-folk sounds into one exuberant package. The band, featuring David Wax and Suz Slezak with a rotating ensemble of backing musicians, is heavily influenced by Wax’s experiences working summers in Mexico during his college years. Wax incorporated the sounds of Mexican son music into his American roots-inspired songs. In addition to Wax’s accompaniment on the guitar-like Mexican jarana, the band’s instrumentation includes accordions and donkey-jawbone percussion. After winning a contest to perform at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival, The David Wax Museum began to make a breakthrough to the national scene. The band’s 2011 release, Everything Is Saved, has won praise from The New Yorker, Paste Magazine, and NPR, among others.
