When asked what sets Now Are the Foxes apart from any other touring group, founder Cale Evans said:
“It takes more than just being a ‘funny person’ to be in Now Are the Foxes. A “Fox” is real, cares about their art and their community, and is committed to the healing power of laughter. And loves fart jokes.”
We sat down with the Foxes to learn more about this unique group. Read our interview in the Artist Spotlight section.
