Stephanie Schneiderman

Trying to pin down Stephanie Schneiderman to any one genre, talent or discipline is next to impossible. One thing is clear however- whether pursuing her prolific work as a solo artist, playing drums for all star roots pop act Swan Sovereign (formerly Dirty Martini), stepping on the stage in the musical The Full Monty, producing a wildly successful humanitarian concert series for refugees in Uganda (raising over $70k) as well as producing the soundtrack for 3 popular children's DVD's, Schneiderman is hands down one of the most diversely talented artists the NW has to offer.

Her solo career began with a coveted spot in the Lilith Fair and she went on to receive extensive NW radio play, tour internationally, and earn placements in numerous films and primetime TV shows. She has played with some of the nations top touring acts- from Aimee Mann to Hall & Oates, Heart, Sarah McLachlan and Train. Above all her accolades as an artist, Schneiderman has a keen passion for activism and is currently penning a musical about human trafficking.

Her new album, Crossfire, combines her past sonic explorationsfolk, Americana, trip hop, and popinto a beautifully dark and deeply introspective recording that is as intimate as it is lush. Funded by her community through pre-purchases and house concerts, Crossfire is a labor of love that celebrates her maiden voyage as self-producer and is possibly her most compelling collection of songs to date.
