Recently anointed as Boston’s Americana Artist of the Year at the Boston Music Awards, the David Wax Museum has been called “one of Boston’s hottest new bands”. It is no surprise that their acclaimed performance at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival was hailed as one of NPR’s All Songs Considered Highlights of the entire weekend. The Museum’s ability to fuse traditional Mexican folk with country, folk and rock, creating an utterly unique Mexo-Americana aesthetic, is what generates its contemporary sound and its broad appeal. Combining Latin rhythms, call-and-response hollering, accordion pumping and donkey jawbone rattling, they have electrified audiences across the country. And they’ve just gotten started.

David Wax Museum’s ascent has been a steady one. The band now consistently sells out historic venues such as Boston's Club Passim, often performing two shows in a single night due to heightened demand. The Museum is closely associated with many of the most innovative Americana bands active today, having toured nationally with The Avett Brothers and the Old 97’s and having shared bills with such acts as Carolina Chocolate Drops, Langhorne Slim, Ben Kweller, The Low Anthem, and Nathaniel Rateliff.  In addition to packing clubs and theatres across the country, David Wax Museum has been causing a ruckus in living rooms and backyards throughout the country. In these unique settings, the band's fiery and heart-wrenching shows have created an undeniable buzz and a devoted following.

Jacob Henry Godfrey is the brainchild of Morganton based Jacob Darden. Darden crafted his songwriting under the moniker of Israel Darling and with a constantly changing cast of musicians he toured the east coast to critical praise and a record deal with New York City based Engine Room Recordings.Under the moniker of Jacob Henry Godfrey, Darden continues to develop his edgy songwriting while exploring his unique voice.
