Shawn Nelson and the Ramblers

Close your eyes and imagine this for a few moments – soft white sands massaging your toes, the sweet aroma of waves braking down on the pristine blue reef while your guitar rests in your lap as you’re writing about this very moment for your next album.  This is sort of what Shawn Nelson of Shawn Nelson and the Ramblers was experiencing as he backpacked Costa Rica a few years ago, “I wanted to go somewhere…and do some self-exploration” which is how Shawn Nelson elaborated to me.   Clearly, jumping on planes, ferries, busses and trains throughout Europe and the Caribbean is not something new to Shawn, having played an integral role in his songwriting.  Currently, Shawn and the Ramblers are working on their next album release coming out in October, together with several upcoming shows.   What is Shawn Nelson doing when he’s not performing “I enjoy reading, researching current events…I’m always trying to look for ways to learn and try to understand the world a little better”.   Really insightful interview, take a look.
