Interview by Lauren Daley
Read MoreSo thankful to be back on tour and engaged in the strange and magical enterprise that is making music with friends, traveling as a family, setting up our little merch store, reconnecting with old friends, and doing it night in and night out. So appreciative of the venues that figured out a way to survive and keep the flame burning.
Tour rolls on for two more weeks! Low ticket alert for Boston and Dallastown, PA.
Suz’s New Song “Take Me” Out Today! — a gorgeous piano ballad about childbirth at the emotional heart of the record. Listen on Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
Suz shares, “When my 40-hour labor ended in an emergency c-section, my tears lasted for years, as I processed the disappointment and anger at myself for somehow believing in a birth that might be “easy” and "natural" just because I’d wished it so. The healing process was quite long for me, as I underwent the physical recovery from surgery, combined with feelings that I hadn’t tried hard enough or prepared well enough. Today I can see that the fact I toured throughout both my pregnancies was actually quite heroic. But it has taken nearly a decade. “Take Me” is a statement of deep acceptance of myself, scars and all, and a recognition of the intense fear that can be involved in giving birth, despite our intentions to welcome the pain as we become a vessel for new life.”
Read MoreOh my gosh, we’re blushing from the kind words after our last-minute gig with The Wood Brothers at the 9:30 Club! We felt a little rusty but boy are we pumped to get back on tour this month.
“The aww-inspiring husband/wife duo David and Suz are operating at a level reminiscent of June Carter and Johnny Cash, especially the way their love for each other pours through the music and radiates on stage. The band certainly won over the crowd early and often.” — Stu Kelly, Melomaniacs
“Eclectic, exuberant, and captivating indie-folk band…this performance would leave a lasting impression that revealed a true hidden gem.” - Jason Herman, DC Music Review

Read MoreToday is a big day! Suz's first single "Beautiful Mess" from her forthcoming solo record is out in the wild world. I couldn't be more proud of her for making this gorgeous, fierce work of art. It was an honor to witness the alchemy of her art-making, these nine indelible songs conjured out of the darkness and pain of depression and mania, a friend's suicide, a traumatic birth experience.

Read MorePlease join us for a Barn Raising Harvest Party to continue raising funds to finish our music studio! A feast of local foods, studio tours, and an intimate concert in the unfinished barn on Oct 23 in Charlottesville, VA.
Read MoreWoweeee! Suz here…I’m actually in tears right now knowing these mama musician stories are being shared in Rolling Stone !! Such an honor to get to speak with Rolling Stone about the intensity of touring with babies and toddlers. I’m really overwhelmed.
The interview was actually conducted during our last tour while I was seated on the back porch of a tiny cottage in Maine where we’d been awoken by a bat flying in our bedroom. So I had spent the better part of the night with four of us in bed under a blanket.
But in all seriousness there is so much work needed to support women and moms in the music industry— I am just thrilled by this article and really proud to be a part of it.
Love,
Suz
Thank you, friends! We’ve reached our goal to meet the matching fund for the music studio!
The fact that our music, one of the ephemeral arts, has led to this extraordinarily tangible creative space is still blowing our minds. So much gratitude for all of you who have gotten involved with this community effort.
We've got the Barn Raising and the Euphoric Ouroboric designs now available on our new print-to-order store!
www.bonfire.com/store/davidwaxmuseum/
This new way of printing gives us a chance to get experimental, to bring back old beloved designs, and to do it all with no upfront costs and no minimum orders. The only catch is.... YOU ONLY HAVE 10 DAYS to place your order for this first batch of designs...then we'll be rolling out new designs!
Normally, we take a wild guess at how many t-shirts to print, what sizes, and which colors we think will look good. It's an expensive shot in the dark, and inevitably, we end up with extra shirts in random sizes. This new way enables to keep our costs down as we dream up more fashionable ways for you to show your support!
Read MoreOur Barn Raising Tour is here!!
Join us for these rare, intimate, in-person (!) performances as we raise money for the next phase of our new music studio construction.
As we ease back into touring and being together, we’ve opted to keep these shows small. Tickets are *very limited* and they take place in some very meaningful places— a Geobarn in Vermont, a farm in Maine, the sweetest restaurant outside Portland, and our favorite lutherie in Boston. We are so thrilled to play for you in the next few weeks!
Read MoreWe just found out that Euphoric Ouroboric was the #1 most-played record this week at CKUA Radio in Alberta, Canada!
Two months ago we released this homespun record, and it’s so gratifying to see it reach your ears, especially with the help of all these amazing radio stations that have supported us over the years.
