Named after a Victorian children’s game, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? is known for genre-blending original songs that marry rich lyrical imagery with a cinematic sensibility, exploring themes of love, spirituality, and identity. Their sound has been described as if Eurythmics went all acoustic, Fleetwood Mac switched electric guitar for a fiddle, or Leonard Cohen and Amy Winehouse performed together in a tiny secret underground speakeasy.
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 percussion.
Their original song “Cold Rain” was covered by New Orleans Soul Queen, Irma Thomas, on her Grammy-nominated album “Simply Grand,” with the track earning high praise in Rolling Stone, USA Today & The Village Voice.
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. Their new live album was recorded at The Cut in Gloucester in 2024.
