In the Wild

Remembering first time events in life is human nature, and for musical performers, those experiences are often literally amplified. For Fox Maple, the Jupiter-based vocalist, mandolinist, songwriter and leader of the Fox Maple Band, the excitement leading up to her first-ever SunFest appearance practically bubbles over. Her quartet also has the first slot on the Ideal Nutrition Stage on May 3, the first night of the three-day festival.

Fox talks about her writing process, the surf rock/indie genre crossover, and songwriting as "exorcism". This well-cultivated podcast celebrates writers of all backgrounds and styles.

561 Music, committed to South Florida's local original artists, is run by The Killbillies' Ben Childs & Hector Diaz. Tune in to hear a spirited exchange with Fox about instruments, influences, and the way music shapes life.
