Kitchen Sessions // Golden Bloom - "If You Believe"

Words // Caroline McDonald

Under the moniker of Golden Bloom, Shawn Fogel came to Kitchen Sessions with an mess of curly hair and a sense of fun and humility that perfectly fit his effortlessly catchy hooks. The Kitchen Sessions space complemented his meticulous voice and understated acoustic guitar, giving something raw and undeniably appealing. Golden Bloom was quirky and kept us giggling in between songs. His music reminded me of Ben Kweller in that it was catchy but also poignant and true. His charisma shown through at Kitchen Sessions, making it impossible not to sit up and listen.
