About the Musicians:

Named after a Victorian children’s game, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? is known for genre blending original songs which marry rich lyrical imagery with a cinematic sensibility, exploring themes of love, spirituality, sexuality, and identity. Their shows range from intimate coffeehouse concerts to theatrical extravaganzas with circus performers.  What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? features 3rian King on lead vocals, guitar and keys; Renee Dupuis on lead vocals, keys and melodica; Nathan Cohen on fiddle and trumpet; Joe Cardoza on upright bass; and Dennis Monagle on drums.

Their original song “Cold Rain” was covered by soul legend Irma Thomas on her Grammy-nominated album “Simply Grand.” In summer 2019, the band premiered their multimedia animated musical “Medusa,” in a sold-out run at the Charles Hayden Planetarium, Museum of Science, Boston, followed by another sold-out weekend at Central Square Theater in Cambridge MA in 2022.

They’re currently mixing a live album for release in 2024.  For music & tour dates visit www.whattimeisitmrfox.com
