Jefferson Fox

Jefferson Fox has been making independent records for 11 years, and in that time, this humble, unpretentious Missouri-based singer/songwriter has amassed a small, but loyal legion of fans worldwide who find his heartfelt, crepuscular and slightly theatrical take on the roots-oriented Americana genre to be of exemplary quality.

A tunesmith of great skill, his lyrics are often deceptively deft, his acoustic guitar playing clever in its composition and with tremendous precision, and his vocals highly evocative and instantly recognizable without lapsing into mannerism. In other words, he’s an almost criminally underappreciated musician who lives on the fringes of the recording industry and deserves far more listeners.

As long as Hurricane Dorian doesn’t cause too awfully much interruption in these parts, Fox will play a free concert Sept. 7 at the Sentient Bean Coffeehouse. It’s a homecoming of sorts, as Fox came of age in our area before heading to the Midwest, and many of his formative memories of hearing live music and then attempting to make his own are linked to that period of his life. - 'Do Savannah' - Jim Reed

Wait for Words – Jefferson Fox

By: Carlolina Jones


Jefferson Fox and his guitar form a formidable duo. His voice ain’t half bad either. Okay let’s be honest...his voice rocks in a magical spellbinding way. His cd “Wait for Words” is a mature piece of work that provides the basic essential elements for good listening.

As far as acoustic music goes Jefferson is one to go for. His music is made for movie soundtracks. This is an album for gentle listening and is a nice back-drop when you feel like relaxing, cleaning, reading. It’s calm and stimulating at the same time. So what’s my favorite track by this artist? ‘The Urge’...hands down. Oh and ‘The Truth Is’ and ‘Laura’s Song’.
