Genre-defying 21st century acoustic quartet - The 442s release their debut recording combining a virtuosic blend of musicianship, singing, improvisation and whistle solos. The 442s are quickly gaining a substantial following throughout the U.S. The band includes a violinist and cellist from the world-renowned St. Louis Symphony, plus two of the most accomplished jazz musicians in St. Louis. Performing the innovative original compositions of Adam Maness, who plays piano, guitar, accordion, melodica and glockenspiel in the group, The 442s features violinist Shawn Weil, cellist Bjorn Ranheim, and bassist Sydney Rodway. Famed vocalist, Erin Bode, appears frequently with the group and is also featured on the new album.

  • The 442s - Second Inversion: Album Of the Week
    Posted At: October 14, 2014

    The 442s are not your average string quartet. Though the group gets its name from the standard orchestral tuning of 442 Hz, they certainly do not confine themselves to the classical music tradition. The band ( violinist Shawn Weil, cellist Bjorn Ranheim, double bassist Sydney Rodway, and composer, keyboardist, and guitarist Adam Maness) was formed in 2012 by two classically-trained musicians from th...

Both are now members of the St. Louis Symphony. There, in the Gateway City, Weill and Ranheim crossed paths with M...

    Violinist Shawn Weil grew up in Chicago. Cellist Bjorn Ranheim is a Minnesota native. They met while both were fellows in the New World Symphony in Miami Beach, Fla. Now, both are musicians in the St. Louis Symphony. The music community in St. Louis is pretty close-knit, according to Bjorn. That's how he and Shawn teamed up with Adam Maness and Sydney Rodway to form The 442s, and they've just rel...
