Austin's Bob Schneider is set to play the Key Club Saturday. The prolific songwriter, with over a 1000 songs to chose from, is basing this tour on the new album called "The Californian."

Schneider has a reputation for his live shows being unique. This one should be no different. Pun intended. HIs sound ranges from angry folk to good rockin'.

"It's going to be a combination of the acoustic show and a full band show. I'll be playing keyboards and guitar and we'll be using drum machines and showing video where the venue will allow us to do so. It'll be more of an event, instead of the usual bar band affair, " says Schneider.

"I really feel great about touring this time around because I'm really psyched about doing something different in terms of what people are used to seeing. We always put on unique shows, they are never the same, even from night to night, but I think the regulars will be pleasantly surprised with how much new material they are going to hear. We'll definitely be going places musically and visually that we have not gone to before."
