   About What Time Is It, Mr. Fox?
(video by ben parsons) WHAT TIME IS IT? 1910 in kansas? 1933 in paris? 1700's in a german forest? a cornfield in 1974? new york city bar in 1948?

WHO is MR. FOX? a dahl character? bluebeard-like bachelor? a teacher? a friendly furry creature with an intimate knowledge of clocks? any ideas are welcome.

never fit into a scene. never subscribe to a specific genre. just try to be true to the guts of the song. whether it be gospel, carnival, psychedelic blues, folk, country or a collage, we hope the truth of it comes through.

lots of songs about relationships and their many beautiful and demonic manifestations. songs about identity, and trying to make sense of the inner workings of our own clocks. and of course the occasional "i just got dumped," "i'm afraid you're going to dump me," or "you smell" songs.

so i write the songs and fantasize about being some sort of male annie lennox. nathan travels abroad like bartok, collects ideas, and basically proves you can play any type of music on a violin. so when we make music we get to be transported to turkey, alabama, ghana, hungary, ireland and sometimes pluto.

if we're on target, you come too. -brian

Hi Leigh,

I would like to share some exciting news: after a long application process, the NYC Musical Saw Festival was approved
by the Guinness Book of Records to attempt to break the current world record for the 'Largest Musical Saw Ensemble'.
The current world record (set in Poland last year) is 27 musical saw players playing together.
Could we set a new world record on July 18th? We need your help for it!
Please join us and be part of a Guinness World Record breaking attempt at the 7th annual NYC Musical Saw Festival:
When: Saturday, July 18th, 2pm
Where: Trinity Church, 37th street corner of 31st Avenue, Astoria (Queens), NYC.
Admission: $10
Info: www.MusicalSawFestival.org

For the Guinness World Record attempt all sawists will be playing 2 pieces together (in what we call the 'Chorus of the Saws'):
Ave Maria/Schubert - accompanied by church organ
Over the Rainbow - accompanied by piano
The 'Chorus of the Saws' will be conducted by Scott Munson.

Hope to see you there, and please - pass the info on - we need to get as many musical saw players to participate as possible to set a new Guinness World Record!

All the best,

Natalia
