"[Roy]'s really growing at an amazing rate. This is a guy we'll be seeing big things from in the coming years."
~J. BARTHELEMY, host, "Music Under the Moss" House Concert Series

~ALICE S., Host, "Music4MeAndU" House Concert Series
"Roy Schneider writes and plays friendly, funny, smart American songs in a down-home style."

Roy Schneider writes songs that come from the heart, engaging the most diverse of audiences with passion, soul, humor and grit.
From a teenage runaway to an under-age union worker, a traveling Deadhead, a toy designer... Through national comic strip syndication, marriage, divorce, spiritual searches and parenthood (single and non), this guy has stories to tell. And with 25 years' dedication to fingerstyle and flatpicked guitar, harmonica and vocals, there's no better way for him to tell them. His sound has been compared to the likes of Willis Alan Ramsey, John Prine, Levon Helm, Guy Clark, Arlo Guthrie, Keller Williams and John Gorka.
Roy Schneider is based in Southwest Florida and carries over a decade of experience performing in festivals, house concerts, coffeehouses, restaurants, bars and other environments. His original music has earned him slots on national festival stages and has been played on various public, mainstream, college and internet radio stations including syndicated radio show The Grateful Dead Hour. He has two full-length CDs to his credit, "The Humble Sessions" (2007) and "Roy Schneider and the Roadside Turtle Rescue" (2008). His new 5-song EP, "Snack", was released in May of 2009 in preparation for his Southeastern US summer tour.
