Everyone has fun at a Fox and Branch show. That has been the duo's guiding principle for the past decade, especially since performing for children and parents became their main focus. Dave Fox and Will Branch strive to create a communal atmosphere of fun and high spirits wherever they play. Audience members are invited to sing along, to dance, and to come onstage to try their hand at the washboard and other musical instruments. Fox and Branch consider themselves to be working in the tradition of great children's performers like Pete Seeger and Ella Jenkins. A Fox and Branch show is as much a celebration of being together as it is a musical performance.
