About Us

Wax Monkey is a 5-piece jam band composed of childhood friends hailing from Birmingham, AL. The members first started jamming together in high school before officially forming the band in 2023 while attending their freshman year at the University of Alabama. Rooted in the spirit of musical exploration, Wax Monkey draws inspiration from legends such as The Grateful Dead, Phish, The Allman Brothers Band and many more — blending aspects of southern rock, psychedelic rock, and improvisational jams.
