“GOLDEN HOUR IS A 60-MINUTE, IMMERSIVE LIVE MUSIC EXPERIENCE CREATED IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VIRGINIA BY MUSICIANS SUZ SLEZAK & DAVID WAX (OF DAVID WAX MUSEUM) AND LAUREN & DANIEL GOANS (OF LOWLAND HUM). FOR THE ENTIRETY OF THE PERFORMANCE, GUESTS ARE SEATED AND BLINDFOLDED WHILE THE FOUR PRINCIPLE MUSICIANS MOVE ABOUT THE SPACE, HOLDING THE LISTENER CLOSE IN AN EVER-CHANGING SONIC LANDSCAPE. WHAT INITIALLY SEEMS LIKE A UNIQUE WAY TO ENGAGE WITH LIVE MUSIC SOON BECOMES AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PRESENCE, STILLNESS AND PARTICIPATION IN A DEEP LISTENING EXPERIENCE THAT IS SIMULTANEOUSLY INDIVIDUAL AND COMMUNAL. 

THE FOUNDERS HAVE BEEN HONING THIS EXPERIENCE SINCE 2017, AND IN 2020, NPR SHOWCASED THE EXPERIENCE IN A FEATURE STORY: “THESE CHARLOTTESVILLE MUSICIANS WANT TO CHANGE THE WAY YOU EXPERIENCE LIVE MUSIC”
