Carrie Schneider

Carrie Schneider is a multi-instrumentalist musician from Minnesota. She started writing music at the age of 12. With a dual cassette deck and a cheap microphone she discovered her passion for building songs by overlapping any sound she could make with acoustic and electric guitars, a snare drum, and household items. Just your average Lo-Fi-Pre-Teen.

A few years later, her parents surprised her with studio time at Rockhouse Productions - owned and operated by Bobby, Jeff, and Tommy Vee in Saint Joseph, MN. There she recorded her original songs with sound engineer Jeff Engholm, later taking on an internship, working with artists such as Teague Alexey, Nicholas David Mrozinski of "The Voice", Paul Spring, Mitchell Johnson, Courtney McClean and The Dirty Curls and many others. When everyone else went home at night, she stayed for hours, hopping up and down the stairs leading from the control room to the performance booths. This is when she developed her signature sound, and went head-first into her dream of producing and performing music.

At 20, Schneider moved to Chicago to tour with the indie-rock group Lindberg. A few years later, she returned to Minnesota where she can now be found performing in various cities across the state promoting her original material, including songs off her debut EP "Flowerbed", released February 23rd 2018. Schneider has performed and recorded with various artists such as Pete Johnson and Tyler Tholl of Maple & Beech, Charlie Roth, Michael Shynes, Dylan McFarling, Telestela (Performer and Producer), Teague Alexey, and more. She is also a co-founder of the Central Minnesota Common Roots Festival, and Musical Director for the Veranda Variety Hour at the Pioneer Place Theater Company.
