Biography

Cleveland, United States (1997 – present)

Bill Fox is an American singer/songwriter hailing from Cleveland, OH. Originally the frontman of the Cleveland 80’s alternative/”power pop” band The Mice, Fox turned to folk songwriting near the end of the 1980s, with great inspiration coming from Bob Dylan. His two records, out on spinART in 1997 and 1998, are lo-fi, 4-track recordings. After living in anonymity for almost a decade, Fox began playing live shows once again in his hometown of Cleveland in early 2009. Despite the buzz generated by news of his return to the stage, Fox continues to shy away from the spotlight, often refusing any sort of press or attention.

    last.fm/music/jive+white+boy "The mind heavy with the times has not been articulated this well in a while. Knives, in many ways, is a record of the same caliber as Counting Crow's "August & Everything After" and Bill Fox's "Shetler From the Smoke". Translation, an important record. Its always a promising sign when an artist leaves a profound impression on us with a minimal amount of elements."
