MISSION STATEMENT:
50 Songs 50 States (In Shawn Rosenblatt’s words)
Starting April, I will be without a home for one year. It seems the easiest way to get to all 50 states in one year is to avoid the paying bills and rent and make different parts of the country my home base. I plan on touring a ton and being broke forever. I am starting my journey East (Philly) and playing with Mark from the band Hop Along and possibly another friend. Below is the list of dates. If you’d like us to play at your venue/house/party or if you would like to offer up your house so I can write and record a song in it, please message me Netherfriendsbooking@gmail.com.

For more on the 50 Songs 50 States project and to follow Shawn’s progress, check out his blog, chart his progress on Tumblr and follow him on Twitter.
