Court Square Theater to welcome folk band and NPR favorite David Wax Museum to the stage
January 05, 2018
HARRISONBURG, Va. (January 5, 2018) – Arts Council of the Valley is excited to reveal an
upcoming concert performance from folk and Americana band David Wax Museum on Friday,
February 2nd at its renowned Court Square Theater.
The roots of David Wax Museum stretch back nearly a decade and span from New England to
Mexico. When David Wax met fiddler, singer, and now wife Suz Slezak, her love of traditional
American and Irish folk music fused with his Mexo-Americana affinities to create a singular,
energetic blend that captivated audiences and critics alike. Together, they released a trio of
albums that garnered escalating raves everywhere from SPIN and Entertainment Weekly to the
New York Times and The Guardian, eventually earning them an invitation to perform on the
main stage at Newport Folk Festival.
The band’s most recent album, “Guesthouse,” includes some of Wax’s most personal and
honest lyrics to date and emphasizes everything that Wax and Slezak have gained since their
start: a beautiful daughter, a stronger bond with their families and friends than ever before,
and without a doubt, the most exciting album of their career.
David Wax Museum will perform at Arts Council of the Valley’s Court Square Theater on Friday,
February 2nd. Doors open at 7:00 PM with the show beginning at 8:00 PM. Tickets are $12
advance and $14 at the door. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit valleyarts.org
or call 540.433.9189.
Arts Council of the Valley’s Court Square Theater is located at 41-F Court Square in Downtown
Harrisonburg, Virginia.
