FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 23, 2022

WHAT TIME IS IT MR FOX PERFORMS AT MUSIC ON MEETINGHOUSE GREEN ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
Singer/songwriter 3rian King and the musicians of What Time Is It Mr. Fox deliver an electrifying performance with an evening of smoky cabaret,
neo-soul, and acoustic noir at the corner of Middle and Church Streets at 6:00 p.m. NOTE: THIS CONCERT WAS RESCHEDULED FROM AUGUST 5.

Well known in Boston’s underground cabaret scene, What Time Is It Mr. Fox has earned a loyal following with frequent performances in New York City
and tours across the United States. Their original songs feature rich lyrical imagery that explore love, spirituality, sexuality, and identity, and their
performances are infused with energy, honesty, and emotional authenticity. Their unique brand of music and performance art has been adopted
by popular singers, filmmakers, and repertory theaters. Band members include: 3rian King, voice, piano, and acoustic guitar; Nathan Cohen, violin,
trumpet, voice; Dennis Monagle, drums; Renee Dupuis, voice, keys, and melodica; and Joe Cardoza, upright bass.

Your free-will donations will benefit the North Shore Health Project supporting the health and wellbeing of people living on the North Shore for
more than three decades. The evening’s food vendor is Chef Ross Franklin offering gourmet tacos and tater tots from his 5 Star Phresh-Phood Taco Truck.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Now in its seventh season, Music on Meetinghouse Green features nine free Friday evening concerts from July 8 to September 9. Performances are held
on the Green with great music, favorite foods from local vendors, and a different North Shore non-profit organization benefits each week through free-will

bring their own lawn chairs or blankets. Picnic with delicious local food from our vendors or bring your own. Performances are handicapped accessible and
