David Wax Museum is a folk band blending traditional Mexican son music with Americana in what they call "Mexo-Americana"[1]

The band had its breakthrough after winning a contest for a spot at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival.[2]

Winners in the Americana category in the 2010 Boston Music Awards

Musical style

David Wax became interested in rural Mexican folk music and focuses on different styles of son music. Wax, who hails from Columbia, Mo., sings and primarily plays the jarana, a Mexican instrument similar to a guitar.

Slezak is a fiddler and vocalist who in the Museum also plays quijada, a percussion instrument made from a donkey’s jawbone.[3]
