Tagged as "one of Boston's hottest new bands" by The Boston Globe, The David Wax Museum fuses exuberant Mexican roots music with rockin' country folk reminiscent of old school Jayhawks and early Wilco to create "Boston's homegrown answer to Calexico" (The Bostonist). They have toured with The Avett Brothers and have just completed their own six-week tour of the East Coast. Originally from Columbia, Missouri, the band is now based on Boston. Wax studied poetry and Latin American history at Harvard after spending two of his college years on a cattle ranch in California.

Hailing from New Jersey and a newly-minted Princeton graduate, Anthony D'Amato is an as-yet-unsigned folk musician whose music leans towards alt-country Americana.

Although not currently associated with any label, Mr. D'Amato has gained indie acclaim in the past two years with his most recent album releases, "Shades of the Prison House" (2009) and "Down Wires", which debuted in October 2010.

Like notable musicians before him, singer-songwriter Cory Chisel forged his first connection to the power of song through the music he heard – and made – in church. His father was a Baptist minister, his mother played piano during services, and an upbringing surrounded by sermons and spirituals instilled in Cory the passion and portent of language and melody, and a fluency in the gospel’s rich vernacular of loss and redemption.
