Head to Anodyne Coffee in Walker’s Point on Sunday for a free family concert! A Fox and Branch family show is all about audience participation. The kids get to sing, clap, dance and play rhythm instruments. Adults get to enjoy the music, clap and sing along.

Some of the music may be familiar to many families, but they also try to introduce new material (drawn from American roots sources and world traditions) that will surprise and amuse children and adults alike.
