‘Fox and Folk Sessions’ at Second Street Brewery Rufina – Featuring Todd and the Fox, Cali Shaw, and debut of new fox themed merch 

Long-time musical collaborators since their teenage years, Todd Lovato and Cali Shaw first made their mark as founding members of the popular funk group Felonious Groove Foundation in the early 2000s, earning numerous awards and accolades before pursuing their distinct solo paths. Now they reunite on stage, supporting each other musically while alternating 30-minute sets in this unique showcase of songwriting and musicianship. Their versatility as multi-instrumentalists allows them to create a rich, layered sound that defies traditional genre boundaries while maintaining strong connections to their Southwestern roots.

Todd and the Fox brings their signature “Norteño Mountain Folk Funk” style, blending electric banjo, lap steel, and rhythm section into a mix of playful and sardonic storytelling. Cali Shaw delivers his compelling blend of Americana and bilingual folk, drawing from deep Southwest roots while bridging cultural borders.

The performers will be backed by Brian Nelson of Glorieta Pines on bass and lead guitar, and musical journeyman and T&tF co-founder Erik Sawyer on drums. Special guest Bryan Highhill (aka Lumpy) joins both acts on trumpet and keys, adding his distinctive musicianship to this cross-pollination of mountain folk and borderland soul.

Exclusive new fox-themed merchandise, including t-shirts and stickers featuring original artwork by Santa Fe-based graphic illustrator Isaac Milner of Reaver and Weaver, will be available at the show.

Music from Todd and the Fox, Cali Shaw, and Bryan Highhill (Lumpy) is available on all major streaming platforms.
