Roaming the country with Netherfriends

Netherfriends is the solo project of Chicago musician Shawn Rosenblatt. Sometimes Shawn is joined by other musicians but most of the time he’s alone roaming the country on a perpetual tour. Last April, Shawn finished his 50 Songs / 50 States project and since then he has been releasing albums with these semi-improvisational, semi-spontaneous atmospheric compositions built on loops, odd percussion and airy vocals.

Shawn is back in Chicago for a few months before he embarks on another tour and a whole another slew of musical projects that fuel his passion for music. He joins Jesse Menendez on Vocalo’s MusicVox.
