Description
Named after a Victorian children’s game, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? is a five person band from Gloucester that plays a genre blending combination of soul, folk, and cabaret. Their original songs marry rich lyrical imagery with a cinematic sensibility, exploring themes of love, spirituality, sexuality, and identity.
The group’s performances range from intimate coffeehouses and living room concerts to music halls and theatrical productions accompanied by circus performers and animation.
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.
In summer 2019, the band premiered their multimedia animated musical “Medusa” in a sold-out run in the Charles Hayden Planetarium at Museum of Science Boston, followed by another sold-out weekend at Central Square Theater in Cambridge MA in 2022.
In March 2025, What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? released the 18-track album “Live At The Cut” now streaming on Spotify, AppleMusic, AmazonMusic, and more.
Here is a video of What Time Is It, Mr. Fox? performing the song Tainted Love unplugged.
