On the Record with WNXP: Sherwyn

Sherwyn and his twin brother Kendrick was born in Brooklyn before his family moved to Nashville. It was here where he got his first bass, his dad would take him to see jazz shows at 3rd and Lindsley, his older brothers would take him to Limelight, and where him and his twin started making music. Opening for Amber Mark at Brooklyn Bowl back in February was a full circle moment.  Before the show, he spoke to us about his journey through Nashville that led him to Los Angeles, developing his sound with his brother and as an artists, building frequent collaborators from PawPaw Rod and Samara Cyn, and his involvement in the new Pigeons and Planes compilation album See You Next Year 3.  FOLLOW US: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/wnxpnashville [https://www.instagram.com/wnxpnashville] X: https://twitter.com/wnxpnashville [https://twitter.com/wnxpnashville] TIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@wnxpnashville [https://tiktok.com/@wnxpnashville] FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/wnxpnashville [https://www.facebook.com/wnxpnashville] BLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/wnxpnashville.bsky.social [https://bsky.app/profile/wnxpnashville.bsky.social]
