Bob Schneider is a highly unique one-man musical and artistic phenomenon. In his musical hometown of Austin, Texas, he has ruled the roost for over 25 years. He has been awarded 54 Austin Music Awards (including seven-time Musician of the Year), making him the all-time leader. He is the best-selling artist at Waterloo Records, and his national profile has won him a devoted following thanks to appearances on national television, numerous albums, and a relentless commitment to touring.Bob Schneider was the main act at the Nutty Brown Amphitheatre with guests Erik Zamora and Erika Lynn Lewis. The band continues across the United States with the last stop at the HopMonk Tavern Novato in Novato, California on July 17, 2021.
And he's done all that within an almost dizzying array of styles and genres. As the Austin American-Statesman notes, "Schneider’s a chameleon; he can’t be categorized, and it’s like it’s a personal challenge to see how many kinds of music he can master. But pay attention; it’s the lyrics more than the voice that set him apart."
Music is a Schneider family hallmark. The son of a professional opera singer, Bob began playing piano and guitar at an early age, performing at family parties and backing his father on drums at nightclubs throughout his youth in Germany and Texas. He dropped out of college where he was studying art, his other primary passion and avocation, at the University of Texas El Paso and moved to Austin to pursue his love of music.
After fronting such popular Austin bands as Joe Rockhead, the Ugly Americans, and The Scabs in the 1990s, Schneider launched a genuinely independent career that goes unmatched for its breadth and prolificacy. He's written more than 2,000 songs and released 18 solo albums between his own Shockorama label, Universal Records, and indies such as Vanguard and Kirtland Records.
