Cabella And Schmitt

'Featured Artist...04/AUGUST/2023...Cabella And Schmitt'

Rich Cabela (guitar, keyboards), Wayne Schmitt (guitar, keyboards), and Tom Schmitt (bass guitar, keyboards).

We are a trio of friends who have been collaborating for over 40 years. We are all given a voice, in some way or another, to communicate how we see and experience the world. We have chosen to expose our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings in the best way we can….through a song.

Our music is really a snapshot of our life.

Discovering great songwriters with consistent releases can be hard to find. So many artists release music for a time and them stop but Cabela and Schmitt is a machine. They have a large catalog of music that will be around for years to come. If you are looking for new music to get into, I would highly suggest checking out Cabela and Schmitt!

That's why we need to appreciate the songwriters who spend their time telling stories that comfort us. There are a lot of things that make a song great, but one of the biggest factors is the story it tells and how much it inspires us. Cabela and Schmitt are one of my favorite songwriting teams because they tell stories that connect with me. This is why I love their music so much. They have a way of capturing emotions in a way that makes you feel like part of the story.

Music Review by Jacqueline Jax…

Inspiration to make music is a funny animal, we never know what we will receive but we accept the responsibility to develop it and share it with the world.

This kind of upbeat energy is something we have included in many of our songs from the start 40 years ago. "Dancing Shoes" (and associated album of the same title) artwork is a step forward for us because we are introducing our newly created band logo!

We seem to hear the music ideas coming out of nowhere (or everywhere), so it seems as though we are creating something from nothing. As long as we all think that is great and a lot of fun, we keep making that music! Of the instruments we play, I have especially enjoyed playing bass guitar since before our start over 40 years ago.

The changes in the music business...

Regarding methods of song distribution, particularly electronic, have opened up many opportunities for musicians like us who work out of home studios. Streaming seems to be the way of the future and something every artist must embrace. The way that music is consumed is very different today as opposed to yesterday but the effect is still a simple process. People hear the music and if it resonates with them, it's a perfect pairing. At the end of the day, it's still just about the connection between the artist and the fan.
