Created by internationally touring bands David Wax Museum and Lowland Hum, Golden Hour offers an immersive live music experience in which guests are seated (and blindfolded) while the musicians move around the space giving the audience an ever-changing sonic landscape that invites presence, stillness, and deep listening.
The two founding bands have been touring for nearly 20 years and lauded by The New York Times, TIME and Rolling Stone. As NPR’s World Cafe host describes Golden Hour, “It brought me back to my first show, the feeling of anticipation, surprise and joy. These musicians have crafted something special, one that will show us how to recapture that magic again.”
Since 2017, Golden Hour has been invited into a diverse array of gatherings such as a colloquium organized by medical ethicists from Columbia University, the Department of History & Literature at Harvard University, and the inaugural event at the Contemplative Sciences Center at University of Virginia. After performing at UVA, President Jim Ryan said, “It’s rare to know for sure that you’ll remember an hour of your life twenty years from now.”

These folks throw themselves completely into every song. I've seen them three times and never felt they were less than "ALL-IN", even once when the crowd was a little sparse. The energy, talent and showmanship- holy moses! In my estimation whenever you have accordians and trumpets on the stage you've raised the bar from the get go. Their recordings are enjoyable but can't capture the live show. What I'm trying to say is CHECK 'EM OUT.
