Propelled by accordion pumping through the subs, twanging gourd banjo licks on a fretless children’s Stratocaster, vintage synths controlled by a violin, and an Argentinian bombo fashioned into a drum kit, “Shark & Fox” hide their toughest questions inside a pile of murder ballads, moving sideways through the traditional building blocks of music, in search of the shortcut to your heart.
Described as “the illegitimate love child between The Dirty Projectors and Ivo Papazov’s Bulgarian wedding band" Shark & Fox formed in early 2024 for their first Australian tour, bringing a new collection of songs to the stage, and discovering their own sound alongside the audience at shows across the country. With 3 seasoned artists from disparate musical and geographical backgrounds, the band’s unifying mission is to stay curious, and to let the song be the guide.
Shark & Fox consists of Canada’s Jaron Freeman-Fox on violin, 12-string viola d’amor and fretless guitar, Australia's Emily-Rose Sharkova on accordion and keyboards, and Rose Callaghan on the drums, with all three members lending their voices in a collective roar, or intricate harmony.
