PRESENTED BY ENA-HELENA EVER

Norbert Schneider was born in Vienna and grew up in Prottes in Lower Austria. Spurred on by the music in the Schneider family household, he first studied classical violin as a child. His fascination with the raw energy of blues caused him to reach for the guitar at the age of 15. By intensively listening to the music of this genre, he taught himself the songs of his musical role models. In addition to playing music, he also discovered his second passion during this time period: composing. "Writing my own songs and self-expression are the real reasons why I never stopped playing music after my classical period." With his voice, which has a range of three octaves, and his semiacoustic Gibson guitar, he bridged the gap between different musical styles such as blues, soul and pop. It’s no wonder that his audience feels like they’re sitting in Bourbon Street in New Orleans during his concerts. Norbert‘s complexity and creativity are also reflected in his numerous musical projects: the Swiss swing and R&B band Blue Flagship, The Voodoo Surfers and Vienna City Blues Band are amongst the musical excursions he has taken. With the latter, Norbert was already accompanying international blues, R&B and gospel giants such as Big Jay McNeely, Louisiana Red, Aaron Burton, Sister Shirley Sydnor and Paul Orta at the age of 19. Between 2003 and 2010, Norbert shared the stage with R&B Caravan and, with his impressive stage presence, presented rhythm & blues classics as well as his remarkable original compositions.

His latest album ‚Entspannt bis auf die Knochen’ (‚relaxed to the bone’) got released in March 2015, in the same phenomenal way as the one before - with charm and cheekiness.
