ABOUT LITTLE FOX (PRE-SHOW ARTIST)
Little Fox features the original songs of singer/multi-instrumentalist Alison Jenkins. Her first EP, Desire Lines, was released in Spring 2022, and her second EP, Ghost In This House, produced and recorded by World Peach Records, will be released May 19th. With vocals that can leap from high and ethereal to a whiskey-soaked gut punch – often in a single song – Little Fox explores genres from folk/pop to bluegrass to blues. Guided by the textures of violin, pedal steel, accordion, ukulele, and banjo, and locked in by a rock-solid rhythm section, Jenkins’ thoughtful original songs are about love, longing, belonging, women, urban history, and finding your way in strange times.
