Event
David Wax Museum with Audrey Ryan and Brown Bird
Friday 08.20.2010, Doors at 8 pm, Starts at 8:30 PM, $8, 18+
While none of the three bands playing tonight are Portlanders proper, we've given them the key to the city because they pick up what we like to put down. The David Wax Museum, quartet from Boston will headline the evening with their brand of rootsy Americana folk akin to SPACE favorites The Felice Brothers and The Low Anthem, as well as the Avett Brothers for whom they've opened on a national tour. David Wax combines his blend of American and Mexican style guitar with Suz Slezak's old-time fiddling, while they raise their voices together in sleepy drawl harmonies. They're coming to Portland fresh off of a national tour with the Old 97's and the Newport Folk Festival. Mt. Desert Island native Audrey Ryan's brand of experimental folk melds influences from the past (Dylan, Mitchell, Young) with her contemporaries (Flaming Lips, Wilco, Arcade Fire). Opening the whole night is Brown Bird bringing back their miniature orchestra of harmonized voices and instruments surging on waves of Appalachian, gypsy, and shanty music.
