SUMMARY:Performance: Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies
DESCRIPTION:<p>Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies has been brewing hand-crafted progressive funk with sweet, caramelized ear-candy and subtle, nutty reggae overtones, filling a void on the children&rsquo;s music scene since 2014.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With colorful hair and wacky costumes, bandleader Josh Fr<img align="right" alt="Band photo" height="247" src="https://sfpl.org/admin/events/lib/external/responsive_filemanager/source/Purple%20Fox%20951x469.png" width="502" />iedman has brought new energy to the Bay Area children&rsquo;s music scene with 2017&rsquo;s My Purple Fox featured in Afternoon Snack, the band&rsquo;s original children&rsquo;s TV show, which took home that year&rsquo;s national Hometown Media Award for Best Community TV Show by an Independent Producer. Their sophomore album, The Something of Love, in 2018, earned a Tillywig Top Fun Award and National Parenting Product (NAPPA) Award. The group&rsquo;s 2019 release, Something&rsquo;s Brewing&hellip; It&rsquo;s Halloween!, a Latin rock and free jazz adventure; setting a new standard for sounds to lift spirits during spooky season.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The band&rsquo;s live shows range from interactive musical performances at festivals or school assemblies to intimate acoustic accompaniment at benefits and other private events. While starting out primarily as a progressive funk-rock outfit with as many as twelve band members, Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies most often features Josh Friedman (vocals, ukulele),&nbsp;Kristen Cardiasmenos (guitar), Brett Warren (bass), and Justin Markovits (drums). Over the years, the quartet has evolved the band&rsquo;s sound into a unique blend of progressive funk, playful dance-pop, and cheerful reggae with complex, percussive instrumentation and wholesome lyrics that center around themes such as kindness and respect.&nbsp;</p>
