Calling on tradition where appropriate, the Fox Hunt play fiddle-centered stringband and original country music. Despite their delicateness in handling the traditional side of their repertoire, their roots go in all directions.
In their stage, the guys are constantly trading off roles by switching up instruments, exchanging vocals, or harmonizing in the background. The instrumentation consists of acoustic guitar, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, and upright bass. The elements all together form a straightforward mix of bright melodies, identifiable lyrics, and rough, smoky arrangements.
Relentlessly touring 150 days a year or more, the Fox Hunt have travelled the lenght and breadth of the USA and internationally - local boys with a world-wide following.
