FOX? could best be described as acoustic noir. The interplay of Brian King’s <em>“haunting...chameleon-like” voice (Metronome)</em> and Nathan Cohen’s supple, melodic violin, creates a common thread throughout a <em>“rich musical tapestry.” (Equal Pride)</em> Grounded by King’s syncopated rhythms on piano and guitar, their songs are bustling with memorable characters and images. You can hear the goldspun tales of a boy who turns into a cartoon, an undercover jack-o-lantern, the woman who rescues herself from a tower, or a soulful lament for a melting snowman. With <em>“lyrics which evoke universal perception and ability to be personal in scope,” (Equal Pride)</em> and <em>“deftly explore themes of love, sexuality, and identity” (Bay WIndows)</em> each song describes a transformation or shift in perspective. In addition to their original material, FOX loves to put their own twist on favorites from Billie Holiday, Johnny Cash, and Prince, to jazz standards and traditonal folk tunes. WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX? has performed at a variety of bars, lofts, clubs and coffeehouses including, the Kendall Cafe in Cambridge, and are featured in the monthly cabaret-variety series <strong>The RAW BAR</strong> at Jacques Underground in Boston. About the RAW BAR, <em>The Weekly Dig</em> declares, <em>“Cabaret is the new punk.”</em></p> <p class="style1">WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX? frequently includes special guests in their line-up. The lovely <strong>Leigh Calabrese</strong> with her singing saw is featured regularly with FOX , as well as appearances by puppeteers, modern dancers, performance artists, an accordion player, an African percussionist, and other guest musicians.</p> <p class="style1">Singer/songwriter <strong>BRIAN KING</strong>’s vocal influences range from the belting blues of Bessie Smith to the unbridled expression of Patti Smith. From a soft croon to a searing roar, <em>“King has a voice that can master all the challenges he places upon it...sounding comfortable and in control.” (Equal Pride.)</em> He has performed his songs and monologues in smoky bars, acoustic fesitvals, cafes and coffeehouses, at venues like <strong>The</strong> <strong>Lizard Lounge</strong> and <strong>Zuzu</strong> in Cambridge MA , <strong>The Paradise</strong> in Boston, with <strong>The Burlesque Revival Association</strong>, and in the <strong>Boston Pride</strong> Festival on the Commons. King has also composed soundscores for the acclaimed dance company <strong>Kelley Donovan and Dancers.</strong></p> <p class="style1">The violin’s warmth, drama, and versatility has been utilized by peoples worldwide to channel distinct cultural sounds and ideas. <strong>NATHAN COHEN</strong> brings with him the traditions of southern fiddle, irish jigs, classical and middle eastern scales. He also stretches the imagination, using the violin to recreate sounds in nature, such as wind, creaking trees, and moaning birds. With the addition of jazz trumpet, and his 20 years of classical training and musical study in Hungary, Ghana, Italy and Turkey, Cohen adds a worldy sophistication to WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX?.</p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <br><br> <p><small><small> Copyright © 2005, whattimeisitmrfox.com.
