::Bend Studio Concert Series presents: Bob Schneider::

Is it just us? Or does it seem like Bob Schnieder is in Houston more than the Mayor? Everytime we turn around, Austin's son is knocking at our door. Not that we're complaining. Jus' sayen.

That's mostly why were checking out this new idea from Bend Studio and Nia Moves Yoga Studio.

Experience something new and unique to the Houston area. Enrich your body and soul through music and movement! 2 wonderful concepts are joining together to bring a new exciting experience to Houston. Bend Studio and NiaMoves are joining together to bring unique, intimate experience with the ongoing Bend Studio Intimate Evening Concert Series. See and hear well established singer-songwriters up close and personal in a smoke-free and alcohol-free environment.

This innovative concept originated at Bend Studio in Dallas and has had great success. Musicians love playing Bend Studio’s Intimate Evening Concert Series because it provides the rare opportunity for artists to showcase their music to a listening and appreciative audience.

A handful of the artists that have performed at other Bend Studio locations in Texas are Bob Schneider, Duncan Sheik, Brandi Carlisle, Charlie Sexton and Ian Moore.

Friday, April 11: An Intimate Evening with Bob Schneider.

Bob Schneider is a fixture on the Austin scene, having kicked around for years in various bands before embarking on a solo career.

He dropped out of the University of Texas at El Paso to front his first band, the funk-and-rap outfit Joe Rockhead. The band independently released three albums before disbanding immediately prior to signing with a major label.

A stint with a jamming, slightly Phish-y outfit called the Ugly Americans followed, which experienced some success as an opening act for the Dave Matthews Band and Horde. In 1997, Schneider went on to co-found the Scabs, where he made a further name for himself as a crotch-grabbing frontman.

In 1999, Schneider became a solo act, though performing at first under the band name Lonelyland.
