About Me


"...a genuine songwriting talent" -ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
"This is where the blurbs are that are supposed to help convince you that this guy is good. If some asshole for the Rolling Stone say's it's great, who cares really! How many times have you heard how great something was only to have your expectations met with disappointment and rage." -ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE
Bob Schneider continues his quest to be indefinable with his latest musical entries "I'm Good Now" and "The Californian". One was recorded over a grueling six-month period, while the other was recorded in four days at Jack Rock's legendary studio in Austin, Texas. Both showcase Bob's incredible chameleonic ability to seamlessly morph from one musical style to the next. His imaginative lyrics and amazing hooks keep coming through though, no matter what style he finds himself in. His fellow Texans as well as his rabid U.S. fanbase will testify to his abilities, as he has become the most awarded singer songwriter in Austin's history, winning over thirty Austin Music Awards.
Bob Schneider has captured a loyal fanbase around the USA with his solid musicianship, lyrical storytelling, and impish onstage persona. His scruffy good looks and strong, husky voice provide a good complement to his semi-confessional songwriting.
After a terrifying plane crash left him uninterested in getting on planes, Bob chose to take a break from flying and focused on touring the United State an average of 200 days a year. However, Bob has announced he is flying again and plans on touring the world in 2008.When Bob is not making music or performing, he continues to create art through designing his own album art, packaging, posters, and T-shirts, while also showcasing his fine art at local galleries. The real beauty of Schneider's artistic career is about the freedom to constantly write, record and stockpile songs. While he's already released hundreds of songs with his bands, Schneider estimates there were at least a thousand songs that didn't fit his band's concepts. Expect new music very soon...
