Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter and former frontman of The Ugly Americans and The Scabs, Bob Schneider has become one of the most celebrated musicians in the live music capital. Combined with his scruffy good looks and diverse musicals styles, Schneider’s talent has defied genres. Combing elements of funk, country, rock, and folk with the more traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic, Schneider draws inspiration from the ’70s with a modern twist reminiscent of Beck. His powerful lyrics tackle tough subjects about alienation, drug addiction, and lost romance. Schneider has won more than 59 Austin Music Awards including Best Album, Best Songwriter, Best Musician, and Best Male Vocals making him the most decorated artist in Austin music history. Schneider’s fan base reaches far beyond the city limits of Austin. He started gaining national recognition when released 2001’s Lonelyland, his major-label debut for Universal Records, followed by 2004’s I’m Good Now. Since leaving Universal, Schneider went on to release more award-winning albums under Vanguard and began releasing “side projects” on his label, Shockorama Records. He has released more than a dozen albums and doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon. Schneider and his team will be releasing a new record ‘In A Roomful Of Blood with A Sleeping Tiger’ dropping in August 2021 as well numbers live shows all throughout Texas.

Quote from Artist: “i was never huge anthony Bourdain fan, but when he committed suicide it really got me to thinking about things. the world we live in and my place in it. i mean, here’s a guy who has everything i’ve ever wanted and he still called it a day. i wrote this song right after he died and at that time the united states seemed deeply divided and of course it’s always been chaotic. i guess i thought that at some point in my life everything would get itself sorted out for some reason, and it just started dawning on me, that maybe that’s never going to happen. i think of this song as my Kurt Vonnegut song. he’s my favourite author and he has this way of creating these characters that really want things to turn out right and they just don’t, but they keep on hoping. at the end of the song, the narrator who seems pretty lost is still hopeful and letting the listener know that no matter what there is still love, and maybe that’s the thing that makes the whole journey bearable.”
