Norbert Schneider

Norbert Schneider is a super versatile Austrian guitarist, singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from Vienna, where he was born on October 24, 1979. Growing up in Prottes in the Weinviertel, he started with classical violin at age seven before picking up the guitar at 15 and teaching himself through blues legends—he even backed up icons like Big Jay McNeely and Louisiana Red as a teen. Blending blues, jazz, Austropop, funk, reggae, and more, he's dropped killer albums like *Tailormade* (2010), *Schau ma mal* (2013), and *Ollas Paletti* (2023), with recent gems such as *Guitar Speaks*, *Acapulco Shuffle*, and *Feia am Dachl* keeping his Wiener dialect charm and raw energy alive.

His accolades speak volumes: he snagged the Ö3 Soundcheck in 2010, multiple Amadeus Austrian Music Awards (2014, 2016, 2019), and the first Vienna Blues Award in 2009, plus runner-up spots at the European Blues Challenge. From jamming with bands like Vienna City Blues Band and Voodoo Surfers in the '90s and '00s to hitting festivals and TV like *Dancing Stars*, Norbert's got that effortless vibe that pulls you into his world of heartfelt riffs and catchy hooks.
