Bob Schneider (born October 12, 1965) is an American pop rock musician, formerly of the Ugly Americans based out of Austin, Texas, U.S.
Son to an operatic singer, Schneider learned to play the piano and guitar at a young age and began to perform at his parents’ parties. Prior to his solo career, the singer played in a number of bands including the funk-rock outfit Joe Rockhead, which he dropped out of the Universsty of Texas at El Paso to contribute fully to. After three independent releases the band split and Schneider joined funk-fused jam-band the Ugly Americans, which signed to Capricorn Records.
After co-founding the band The Scabs, the musician left the band life to pursue a solo career, which would take a more acoustic approach than he had previously. His debut album released through Universal was called “Lonelyland†and was also the moniker Schneider used when he first went solo. The song “Big Blue Sea†from the album received a steady stream of radio airplay, with follow up “Metal & Steel†the musician's most played song.
2004’s sophomore full-length “I’m Good Now†was released by Vanguard Records to positive acclaim. Due to a stipulation in contract with his labels Universal and Vanguard “Lonelyland†and “I’m Good Now†were also released as a side-project on his own Shockorama Records label. Schneider’s has had a number of other side-project albums including 2002’s “Galaxy Kings†and 2003’s “Ive Seen The End of the World and It Looks Like Thisâ€, which have been rereleased through Vanguard in 2006.
Vanguard also released Schneider’s third studio album “The Californian†in 2006 and since a number of live albums including “Greatest Hits Live†“Songs Sung & Played at the Same Time with People in the Room†and “Live At The Paramount Theatreâ€. Schneider signed with Kirtland Records in 2009 and subsequently released the studio albums “Lovely Creaturesâ€, “A Perfect Day†and “Burden of Proofâ€.
Read moreOriginally a member of the band Ugly Americans, I came across Bob Schneider for the first time the night I saw him perform live. A friend was a huge fan and encouraged me to go along to an intimate gig in a pub near our home. Schneider was confident yet humble, and when he first walked out onto the stage, he took his seat without a work, and picked up his Ukulele and began playing Magic Wand. It wasn’t until the track finished that he introduced himself and the band to the audience.
As well as a talented pop/folk singer and composer, he is an incredible multi-instrumentalist, who showcased his talent by alternating between instruments throughout the show. He performed mainly from the album A Perfect Day, which as some beautiful ballads intertwined with more up beat rocky songs. Something wonderful about seeing him live was that before songs, he would give a brief summary of how he came up with the idea of the melody and lyrics. These are the special elements of seeing a live performance, rather than listening to the studio recordings.
The concert lasted almost 2 hours, and every moment was wonderful. He was able to transition the audience from a room of silent individuals all with goose bumps, to a dance floor of laughing friends who were enjoying and laughing at his music. It was such a varied show that showed a vast amount of talent, and was great fun!
Folk rock musician Bob Schneider is perhaps best known as the lead vocalists of Ugly Americans. Yet since the demise of that band he has continued to play music and tour globally with his esteemed solo collection. With almost total creative control, the music Bob creates feels very much true to the performer and that this is exactly what he wants to be playing live.
The Texan has been awarded numerous times by the Austin Awards and although he is now considered critically acclaimed, he is still very laid back when performing in a live setting. He talks to the crowd as though he has known them for years and there is an endearment there from both sides. He holds their attention for a lengthy twenty song set with an absolute ease as they watch his live band recreate the music from across the albums. He then rewards the older fans with a cover of 'Tarantula' from his days as part of The Scabs.
It was a good show and I appreciate him playing for us but I feel like Tulsa let him down. They scheduled him to play on opening weekend of the Gathering Place which pulled away most people. Then they had no food trucks or other vendors to offer food or drinks. So Tulsa you dropped the ball but Bob was great and I was glad to see his show. Side note to Bob if you ever read these: My 9 year old daughter and I love your Batman song so if you ever come back to Tulsa..... :)
Sadly our Bob Schneider show was cancelled when he received a chance to be on RachelRay-- again. Sure can't blame him for that -- but we luckily found out on our own without anyone be notifying us.. reimbursed for the tix, then our hotel wouldn't let us out... so no show and we still eat a hotel room,$130...why they gotta be like that!? Not very excited to road trip to KC again... come back to Nebraska Bobby!!
As always it was a great show. Bob didn't disappoint. He played a variety of his music by playing old songs, bew tracks and his hits along with his "party" songs. He wowed the crowd with his "Bieber looks" It was a great show!!
The show was absolutely fantastic. Just wish it could've lasted a little longer! There's no one quite like Bob. Anytime he's playing a venue close to us we make sure that were there and he never disappoints
Really enjoyed the concert at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on July 12th, never been to that venue before beautiful building, great acoustics, smaller so it’s interment great views.
Before The Ugly Americans, Bob was the front man for Joe Rockhead...and they did indeed rock.
These days Bob is much more diverse. Go see him live and you will hear a little bit everything.
Once again Bob didn't disappoint!!! Great shows both nights he was at Courville's. He made sure to play songs his fans wanted to hear & requested. Can't wait to see him at Courville's next time!
Five stars, as always. Thanks for bringing a little ATX to SLC! It was great to hear your new stuff and old faves! Can't wait to visit Austin on a Monday night!
