Spotify | Apple Music | Youtube | Website
Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter and former frontman of Joe Rockhead, The Ugly Americans and The Scabs, Bob Schneider is one of the most-celebrated musicians in the live music capital. Combining diverse styles, Schneider’s music spans genres, blending elements of folk, rock, rap, funk, bluegrass, reggae and country with the more traditional singer/songwriter aesthetic. In short, FRUNK.
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’s storied music history.
Schneider’s fan base reaches far beyond the city limits of Austin. He started gaining national recognition with his major-label debut for Universal Records, Lonelyland. A fiercely-independent artist, Schneider opted to start his own label, Shockorama Records, which has afforded him the freedom to make the music his fans love, on his own terms.
Schneider’s live performances, both solo and with the band, are legendary. A two-time performer on his hometown’s famed Austin City Limits television show, he still does his weekly residency at The Saxon Pub, as he has for over 20 years. All told, he plays over 150 shows a year all over America and he doesn’t plan on slowing down anytime soon.

After cutting his teeth on open mics around the Bay Area, San Francisco songwriter Matt Jaffe was discovered by Jerry Harrison of Talking Heads. Together, they produced his first album at the age of 16, cementing Matt's dedication to music. Soon, he formed a band, dropped out of college and has not looked back.
Since then, Matt has co-written with Tom Higgenson (Hey There Delilah), toured and/or shared the stage with Blues Traveler, Wilco, and Bobby Weir and continued to write and record at a blistering pace. Inspired by the likes of Elvis Costello, Tom Petty and Stephin Merritt, Matt is building a songbook that honors his heroes. He has also served as musical director for experimental theater, collaborated with poets on genre-bending spoken word, and curated residencies among fellow songwriters.
He is on the cusp of releasing his ninth studio album, Station Eleven.
