“Combining Elvis Costello’s pulsing, upbeat songwriting with Neil Young’s bittersweet harmonica textures, One Day In The Desert pays homage to Fogel’s influences yet remains fresh with a modern indie sound.”
-Northeast Performer
On his latest EP, One Day in the Desert, New England native, Shawn Fogel, shows off his Americana spunk and genuine musicianship through affable beats and poignant lyrics. A one-man-band of sorts, Fogel serves up delicious wit topped off with melodic icing, showcasing his strength as a multi-instrumentalist and songwriter.

You need to know that you are refreshing, authentic, outrageous and delightful. It was a pleasure catching your set at the Basement. I am so grateful to know you and I can't wait to see what's next for you...
Hey Shawn, Thanks for the kind words! I will send you a CD mix soon with some of my new tunes on it. :) I had the same feeling about getting home and missing hearing your set. Your songs are playing in shuffle in my head! haha. My dad and I love your EP!! Your presence in the car was missed on the drive home. Definitely spring '08! Take care, --- Mer
