Austin, Texas (Feb. 22, 2011) — You never know when a ukulele will come in handy. It’s a good thing Shawn Fogel (Golden Bloom) plays a mean one, because he’ll be putting it to good use as he takes part in The Beatles Complete on Ukulele March 16th  at Jo’s Coffee for a SXSW day party. The event will feature host of special guests playing Beatles song on ukulele. Past Beatles Complete on Ukulele events have featured guests such as The Zambonis, Nellie McKay, Ryan Miller of Guster, Adam Green, The Pierces, and Ben Kweller.

Shawn Fogel is officially in the ukulele camp, as evidenced by his recent project Neutral Uke Hotel. The band played Neutral Milk Hotel’s beloved In the Aeroplane Over the Sea live to packed rooms of singing, stomping fans all over the country. Fogel says of this project, “It’s one of my favorite records ever, and the album doesn’t just have fans. The people who love that album are obsessed with it…. The goal of the project: [is] to strip these songs down and get people in a room to share their love for this album.’’
Last year was a big year for Shawn Fogel, who joined the likes of Ben Kweller and Guster's Ryan Miller in Brooklyn and at SXSW and played sold out Neutral Uke Hotel shows across the country. His project, Golden Bloom, is currently in the studio recording the follow up to Fan the Flames (2009).  Shooting for a release this year, Golden Bloom is once again working with producer Peter Katis, best known for producing the critically acclaimed albums The Boxer and High Violet by The National.

Praise for Golden Bloom

"...songwriter extraordinaire" -- The Big Take-Over

“MAGNET is proud to kick off the Summer of Golden Bloom, mainly because this album is redolent of mid-period Wilco; lead track “E.H.M.” sounds like an imaginary b-side to “Outtasite (Outta Mind)” featuring Scott McCaughey and appearing circa Summerteeth instead of Being There.”

“…runaway single ‘Doomsday Devices.’ The remix could easily slot in well with the rest of Kindercore's stable of dance-pop bands.”--Under the Radar

9 out of 10 stars “A pop record all the way with hooks that are both occasionally obvious yet totally effective.” --Tim Hinely, Blurt

Hot New Band (July 2009) and One of 8 Undiscovered Bands Worth a Listen (January 2009)—SPIN

"It should come as a mighty surprise then, that Golden Bloom, which can easily rival acts like The New Pornographers in their power pop capabilities is just one dude. Shawn Fogel cranks out nine pieces of pop perfection, with hints of alt-country…to touches of transient jangle-lovin’…This is harmless and warming pop music to crack a thousand smiles to.” --Joshua Kloke, Skope Mag

"[Golden Bloom] delivered one of my favorite albums of the year. Endlessly enchanting, Fogel’s ear for power-pop melodies and eyebrow-raising lyrics stuffs this album with one good song after another." --Jim Testa, Jersey Beat
