The
stage isn’t very big at Fox & Crow, the hip pub and “parlour” on Palisade Ave. in The Heights. Nevertheless, it’s a great Jersey City venue for some pretty big talent and nobody knows that better than the club’s music curator/booking manager Margo Parks. For more than a year now, Parks has been scouting the acts for Fox & Crow; just one of her many jobs in the music industry. She also works at Kaleidoscope Sound recording studio in Union City and books talent for the annual A-Town Get Down in Savannah, Georgia. Married to popular musician Walter Parks (lead guitarist for the late and great Ritchie Havens), Margo Parks
books gigs for her husband’s band, Swamp Cabbage, too. Although not a musician, per se, Margo Parks spends most of her time and energy with musicians– and that’s just fine with her. This is not a line of work Parks just fell into. She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Music from NYU, where she studied the business of music; and she has

And when she’s not curating acts for Fox & Crow and gigs for Walter’s band, Margo and Walter host art happenings at The Statuary, their home in The Heights, on JC Fridays. On a recent Friday night, Parks invited an all-female

Margo Parks & Walter Parks band Vicki Kristina Barcelona to perform at Fox & Crow and they wowed the crowd with two sets of Tom Waits’ songs that melded beautifully with their originals. On Fri, Jan. 20, Swingadelic will groove the parlour. And Parks already set February’s entertainment schedule with acts like Chrissi Poland, Adam Falcon and Jon Shain. RVO: We loved Vicki Kristina Barcelona, how did you get them for Fox & Crow? MP: Walter, my husband is a musician and Terry Radigan of Vicki Kristina Barcelona Band hosts a roundup once a month in Brooklyn. She invited Walter to that a couple of times. Her group also performed. I’ve known Amanda, who’s also in the band, through other groups.
RVO: Your husband Walter Parks played with the late Ritchie Havens? MP: Walter is a guitarist and singer. He has his own band Swamp Cabbage, and he plays solo. Walter was touring with Ritchie Havens for 9 or 10 years as lead guitarist. Three or 4 days a week, he was on the road. He’s on the road a lot, these days, but mostly with his own stuff. RVO: How did you get to be music curator for Fox & Crow? MP: The owners wanted to have live music in the back room. That was about a year ago. I offered to help and it became a job. I love it. I’ve been working in the music world for almost 20 years. RVO: How did you get into the business of music?
Chrissi Poland performs at Fox & Crow Feb. 25 MP: I studied music business in college. I went to NYU and got a Bachelor’s of Music – it was a specialty offered in the music school. I took all of the basic business courses in the business school, took basic music courses and courses that specialized in the music industry. The concert promoter for the Beacon Theater was one of my teachers. He taught us about contracts, publicity, the angle from the music industry. It was interesting. Cont’d on page 3

in artists. I stopped there in 2004, and started working for Grassy Hill Entertainment. We did a lot of showcases like the Folk Alliance, and we would bring in other artists to do the showcases once or twice a year. I would say the time I would start to scout was when I helped found a festival in Savannah called A-Town Get Down. It started as a benefit for Alex Townsend, who passed RVO: You also worked away way too young. His with Rachel Sage as her family are friends of ours. label manager?

MP: The Statuary is our home. We bought it in 2005 from the Jersey Statuary that made religious statues, a family-owned business that made Marys and Jesuses and painted them for about 80 years. They were the only people doing it for Adam Falcon performs at a 200-mile radius. Then Fox & Crow Feb. 18 they retired.

PARLOUR MUSIC Cont’d from page 3 RVO: There seems to be an art renaissance happening in The Heights. What’s your take on it? MP: We have so many artists and musicians that live up here. This community is very active. There’s the Lumberyard series, the Farmers’ Market, the Washington Park Association that has the Art & Music Festival. I think they’re doing more throughout the year. The Holland Street Project, the Riverview Jazz Festival and the Riverview Art Association. Corkscrew has music on a regular basis. Art House does a lot of theater as well as art events. It’s a wonderful community. RVO: Fox & Crow seems to have taken off as a go-to destination for live entertainment.
MP: At Fox & Crow, people are coming out just to see what we’re doing in the Parlour. There are so many places that have rock and roll and the blues. I try to do something different than what you typically get in a bar. It’s such a small space, I want to keep it a listening room vibe.
RVO: Do you like your work as a music curator; is it fun? MP: The fun part for me, I love looking for live music and listening to what’s out there and I like bringing music to the community. I like being able to introduce quality, culturally diverse music, especially when people respond to it. Last year, I had a young woman from Chicago who does a tribute to Edith Piaf. People came out and were excited and respected what she was
trying to do. Those special nights are really exciting for me. If you go Fox & Crow Pub & Parlour 594 Palisade Ave, JC www.foxandcrowjc.com

n 1967, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown opened Off Broadway at Theater 80 in the East Village, and 50 years later it still charms and delights audiences of all ages. Songs like “Suppertime” and “Happiness” are classics of musical theater and cartoonist Charles M. Schultz’s characters Snoopy, Lucy and Charlie Brown are as iconic – and adorable – today as they were back then. Mile Square Theatre in Hoboken opens its 2017 season with You’re a Good
Man, Charlie Brown beginning Friday, Feb. 3 and running through Sunday, Feb. 26. The musical, featuring Schultz’s Peanuts Gang is a series of vignettes about Lucy who worships Schroeder who worships Beethoven; curious Sally and Linus, who doesn’t feel complete without his blanket; and Charlie Brown and his funny, loyal and precocious pup, Snoopy. Mary Kate Burke directs with musical direction by Terri Gorgone, and choreography by Sarah Weber-Gallo.

M
at Kopec opened his first restaurant when he was still in his 20s; he bought it on Craigslist and turned it into White Star on Brunswick Street. That was two restaurants ago. Today, Kopec runs three eateries, White Star on Brunswick, White Star Warren St and his new place, Mathews Food & Drink on the corner of Bay & Grove – all three in Jersey City. Mat (short for Mateusz) Kopec designed Mathews’ menu with Chef Jon Mecca and Chef Mike Kedala, formerly of One if by Land, Two if by Sea in Manhattan. The three decided to serve All American cuisine at Mathews that Kopec describes as, sophisticated, but presented in a casual style. “We try to create an environment that’s everyday dining,” Kopec says. “There’s a southern influence. The South is all about hospitality, that’s the center of it. And it’s farm-to-table. We try to do that here.” The menu features Starters, Salads, Entrees

The 80s Glam Since Mathews opened in October 2016, business has been jumping, Kopec says. The restaurant seats 90 people and on Friday and Saturday nights the chefs are cooking several hundred dinners each night. They don’t take reserva
tions, per se, but if you have a large party, call and they’ll make one for you, Kopec says. “We’re busy every night,” Kopec says. How does Kopec keep up running three restaurants? He delegates when it’s possible, he says, but he still worries about little things ‘You can have a packed dining room and worry about a light bulb,” Kopec says “It’s all in the details.”
The restaurant has a beautiful bar and seating at the bar is surrounded by rows of tables for two and four. The atmosphere is casual and relaxed, with a touch of hip sophistication in the décor and light fixtures. Cont’d on page 15
DINE AMERICANA
Cont’d from page 14 For a cozier dining experience, there are three smaller dining rooms in the next room. The décor is white with several light wallpaper designs and blonde wood tables. There are lots of windows, too, that look out on to busy Grove and Bay Streets. “Our goal is to create a place for people to come out to and eat every day,” Kopec says. “We found our identity. We’re your neighborhood restaurant with great food, great drinks and great service.” If you go Mathews Food & Drink 351 Grove St, JC (201) 333-1258 www.mathewsfoodanddrink.com
