Shawn Fogel is a member critically acclaimed concept bands The Zambonis and The LeeVees, as well as the singer/songwriter behind Golden Bloom. Shawn also plays drums with Brooklyn, NY's JP05 and keyboards with The Philistines Jr. He's not dismissing the rumor of a Billy Ripken F*ck Face Card reunion either!
“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.
