Fox Walker
Fox Walker is a large R&B/Neo-Soul band from Portland, OR, bringing the message of community, authenticity and self-confidence through music.
Fox Walker brings together an inclusive community that blurs the lines between audience and performer, where each concert is one of a kind. They work to emulate the stage shows of D’Angelo and Vulfpeck, where the crowd can expect a large cast of rotating characters performing at a high level. They also keep Bobby Caldwell, Sade, Jill Scott, Raphael Saddiq and Anderson Paak on shuffle when driving to shows.
In 2024 Fox Walker was awarded the Echo Fund Grant, presented by a board of prominent figures in the music community through Music Oregon. This afforded Fox Walker the ability to collaborate with a collection of twenty-one Portland artists
they’ve rallied over the years. After months of planning, they recorded a live-in-studio music video for their song, Let’s Vibe, at Page Street Sound Labs.
