Born from a string of unlikely coincidences, chance encounters, and surprise reunions, Jack
Schneider’s stirring new album, Streets of September, is more than just a work of serendipity,
it’s a deeply personal reflection on growth, change, and mortality from a master craftsman
with an almost religious reverence for words and music. The songs are warm and timeless,
harkening back to ’70s troubadours like James Taylor and John Denver, and the performances
are raw and spacious, captured live to tape with producer/engineer Matt Andrews (T Bone
Burnett, Old Crow Medicine Show) and an all-star band. The result is a touching tribute to the
people and places that shaped Schneider’s journey over the last ten tumultuous years, a
meant-to-be mixture of profoundly honest original material and revelatory interpretations
that stand as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling in the face of loss and
transcendence.
A Georgia native, Schneider got his start as a session guitarist while studying at the Clive
Davis Institute at NYU. During breaks from school, he began traveling to Nashville, where he
landed a summer job at Gruhn guitars and met Vince Gill, who would later invite him to join
his touring band. In 2022, Schneider released his critically acclaimed debut, Best Be On My
Way (which featured Gill along with David Rawlings and Stuart Duncan among others), and
toured the country sharing bills with the likes of Gordon Lightfoot, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and
Ricky Skaggs.
Jack Schneider
The world of Jack Schneider is one strewn with eccentricity and nostalgia, where a New York cowboy wanders the streets of East Nashville donning a Stetson Range, a purist philosophy, and his beloved 1956 Martin D-28 guitar, Big Jim. Jack is, as some would say, a Nashville triple threat – guitarist, songwriter, and singer, in addition to producer, guitar collector, and analog enthusiast.
Born in New York and raised in Georgia, Jack began making trips to Gruhn Guitars in Nashville when he was in high school, seeking to quench his insatiable thirst for knowledge of fretted instruments. Despite attending university in New York, he spent most school breaks and long weekends in Music City, working summers at Gruhn’s; it was there that he met and befriended Vince Gill, among other musical heroes. With one foot in New York and one in Nashville, Jack expanded his network as both a session player and an artist in both cities, gracing the stages of The Bitter End and The Bluebird Cafe with equal character and charm.
Since graduating from NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in 2019, Jack has added significantly to his laundry list of accomplishments: he’s toured with Vince Gill as both guitar tech and player, produced records for multiple up-and-coming Nashville artists (recorded to tape, of course), released his first single to critical acclaim, played the Grand Ole Opry, and delivered a series of “vanishing albums:” full-length records accessible for a week at a time each during the pandemic, after which they were removed from streaming services and unavailable for physical purchase. Most recently, Jack recorded his debut non-vanishing record with the likes of David Rawlings, Vince Gill, Stewart Duncan, and Dennis Crouch. With a reverence for folk music and an instrumental prowess that captivates audiences everywhere, Jack Schneider is a sharp answer to the ever-urgent question of modern day artistic authenticity.
