SMOKY CABARET BAND ‘WHAT TIME IS IT, MR. FOX?’ TO PLAY AT MEETINGHOUSE GREEN SUMMER CONCERT, AUGUST 17
A longtime staple of Boston’s underground cabaret scene, ‘What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?’ will rivet the crowds at Meetinghouse Green, at the corner of Church and Middle Street, Friday, August 17 from 6 – 9 pm.
In 2004 the band started as a duo with singer-songwriter Brian King, of gender-defying voice, who teamed up with violinist and trumpeter Nathan Cohen. Today, the band includes Dennis Monagle on drums, Renee Dupuis on voice, keys, and melodica, and Joe Cardoza on upright bass. They deliver their own brand of smoky cabaret, neo-soul and acoustic noir. Think of Tom Waits and Amy Winehouse playing in a French café. ‘What Time Is It, Mr. Fox’s’ latest album ‘Little Bit of Blue,’ recently released with two Boston and NYC sold-out CD release parties, includes songs accompanied by circus performers, dancers, and animation by award-winning Harvard filmmaker Ruth Lingford.
The concert is free. As with all of Meetinghouse Green’s concerts, the audience is encouraged to make free-will donations to Cape Ann Art Haven, a Gloucester community space offering art classes for kids and adults in pottery, photography, mural painting, drawing and more. Bring cash or a checkbook, beach chairs or blankets. Food is provided by Short and Main, a contemporary bistro featuring pizza, oysters, and fried chicken on Thursdays. In case of inclement weather the concert will be held inside the Meetinghouse. Parking is available on Meetinghouse Green, nearby lots, and at St. Peter’s Square.
Music on Meetinghouse Green’s sponsors include Linzee and Beth Coolidge; J.J. and Jackie Bell; Michael and Mary Bresnan; JoeAnn Hart and Gordon Baird; Harry and Mary Hintlian; Charles Nazarian; Dick and Doris Prouty; Sandra Ronan; Brent and Linda Wilkes; Tom and Kristin Zarrella; and our corporate sponsor Cape Ann Savings Bank.
