Bob Schneider

Bob Schneider’s press materials have called him “the best artist you’ve never heard of,” yet the Austin, Texas-based singer-songwriter (and former frontman of The Ugly Americans) has been making records since the turn of the century. Schneider’s music blends elements of folk, rock, bluegrass, country and even rap, funk and reggae, and over the years he’s collected about 60 Austin Music Awards. His latest album, The Human Torch, has been hailed as his most cohesive yet, but he also digs back and plays songs from his major-label debut, 2001’s Lonelyland. Josh Harty, a Madison music mainstay with a rich and rootsy vibe, opens.
