Sons of Bill + David Wax Museum

Sons of Bill with special guests David Wax Museum at Live From the Divide on Friday, November 21st at 8pm.

Sons of Bill is a five-piece rock and Americana band from Charlottesville, Virginia. Founded by brothers Sam, Abe, and James Wilson, along with bassist Seth Green and drummer Todd Wellons. It’s easy to say that Sons of Bill can sound more like Townes Van Zandt or early R.E.M. depending on the track, even moving into their own brand of down-home psychedelia that American Songwriter described as a “countrified Pink Floyd.” But the real achievement of Love and Logic is the songwriting, the Wilson brothers’ ability to craft literate and deeply introspective lyrics while still managing to deliver it all as a rock and roll band. It’s a soul-searcher’s soundtrack for an over-stimulated age.

The success of David Wax Museum is kindled with its innovative, grass-roots approach. After years busking at house concerts and touring with The Avett Brothers, the Carolina Chocolate Drops, and the Old 97s, DWM picked up the 2010 Boston Music Awards Americana Artist of the Year. Critical mass came with the band’s breakout performance at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival, an opportunity won by DWM fans in an online competition. NPR called their concert at Newport a highlight of the entire weekend, Bob Boilen of All Songs Considered filed their sound under “pure, irresistible joy”, and the Museum was invited back to Newport to play the 2011 main stage. David Wax Museum has become one of the hottest new indie bands around.
