    About

    David Wax Museum recently graced the Tiny Desk stage with their infectious blend of American and Mexican folk music, a style they refer to as "Mexo-Americana." The band, led by husband and wife duo David Wax and Suz Slezak, brought their unique sound to life with friends Sam D'Agostino and Mike Roberts, creating a fun and frenetic performance that left a lasting impression.

    During the concert, highlights included the band's winning combination of traditional Mexican son music with Americana, as well as standout moments like the percussive donkey jawbone played by Suz Slezak and the unexpected collapse of Mike Roberts' bass bridge during the performance of "Yes, Marie, Yes."

    David Wax Museum's career has been marked by self-released albums, grassroots support, and an active touring schedule. The band's energy and joy on stage, reminiscent of their Newport Folk Festival appearance, captivated the Tiny Desk audience and showcased their passion for blending different musical styles into something truly special.

    Overall, the concert was a lively and memorable experience, with the band's Mexo-Americana sound shining through and leaving a lasting impact on all those in attendance.
