Calling All Dogs: Our Peanut Butter Video Needs You
We're making a peanut butter music video!!! This is the big time....I'm asking any and all of you with dogs to film a short video clip (horizontal on your phone) of your dog eating peanut butter. Let your creativity run wild here...anything goes. Tell your friends with cool dogs too! Thanks to my friend Cuchulain and his Willie Dog Nelson for the brilliant idea (example below). Please send your videos to jf@jennerfox.com. Can't wait.
Tiny Zoom Concerts are still available
I've had a lot of fun with these so far. We've played requests, harmonized on zoom (yikes), celebrated birthdays, and written poetry together. Shoot me a message and name your price if you'd like to schedule an hour of personalized music.
Song Academy for Youth with Victor Wooten...
Way back when, when we started running songwriting and music camps we based the whole thing on Victor's philosophy and his book, "The Music Lesson." Now he's teaching at the camp I'm directing! Dreams do come true. This will be a helluva weekend, please pass the info along to any musical high schoolers you think might be interested – registration & info.

Fox Recommends
Febu-cherry.A Spotify playlists of tunes I've been digging this winter. Sit back and groove.
Springsteen and Obama hangout and talk and we get to listen!What could be better. The Renegades Podcast, on your favorite podcast app, amazing to hear these guys wax.
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield. I was gifted this book a few weeks back and it's been a big one for me in naming all the things that get in the way of sitting down to do "the work." It gave me a sense of camaraderie in doing the things that bring out our best selves, and thus tend to get procrastinated the hardest.
Speaking of books.This website compiles a list of black owned independent book storesfor in person or web buying. It's really great. The "War of Art" link above is to Estelita's Library, an online book store out of Seattle!
