Shawn Rosenblatt, otherwise known as Netherfriends, played this summer at Schubas and found some time to sit down with me and talk about his musical endeavors.
"I think I just wanted to do a project that would keep me motivated," Shawn said about his latest album, Middle America.
He's been on the road for about two years, and is working on his Sufjan Stevens-esque 50 states project, with a song for every state (much more feasible than an album for each, Sufjan).
The show brought a large crowd. He looped his vocals and instruments all over the place, and was joined onstage by several other musicians. I was surprised when the show ended- I enjoyed the set so much that I barely realized time was passing.
Now you can enjoy the sounds of Netherfriends every Monday, since he'll be doing a residency at Schubas. Each live performance will be recorded as part of a new album.
