History
Formed in 2014, Purple Fox and the Heebie Jeebies initially focused on children's funk-rock music. They later transitioned to a funk-inspired indie reggae-rock band in 2017. The band has released four studio albums, along with other recordings and projects.

Musical Style and Live Performances
The band is known for their lively on-stage personas, in which they portray colorful animals and musical characters. This theme is incorporated into their music and theatrical stage shows, which often feature interactive song-making with children and families, focusing on themes such as love, kindness, respect, and friendship. Their current musical style blends progressive funk and reggae with elements of jazz, rock, dancehall, and synth-pop.
