Cabela & Schmitt are: Rich Cabela (guitar, keyboards), Wayne Schmitt (guitar, keyboards), and Tom Schmitt (bass guitar, keyboards).

We are a trio of friends who have been collaborating for over 40 years. We are all given a voice, in some way or another, to communicate how we see and experience the world. We have chosen to expose our thoughts, beliefs, and feelings in the best way we can….through a song. Our music is really a snapshot of our life.

Music Review by Jacqueline Jax…

Discovering great songwriters with consistent releases can be hard to find. So many artists release music for a time and them stop but Cabela and Schmitt is a machine. They have a large catalog of music that will be around for years to come. If you are looking for new music to get into, I would highly suggest checking out Cabela and Schmitt!

That’s why we need to appreciate the songwriters who spend their time telling stories that comfort us. There are a lot of things that make a song great, but one of the biggest factors is the story it tells and how much it inspires us. Cabela and Schmitt are one of my favorite songwriting teams because they tell stories that connect with me. This is why I love their music so much. They have a way of capturing emotions in a way that makes you feel like part of the story.

The Cabela & Schmitt Project, also known as Cabela & Schmitt, features the inspiring Rock trio which consists of Rich Cabela and Wayne Schmitt on guitar, and keyboards and Tom Schmitt complementing them with his distinctive bass guitar and keyboards.

Together, the artists have embarked on a musical journey that spans over four decades, creating a memorable soundscape that resonates deeply with life's unique faces and experiences.

For the artists, their music begins with scattered thoughts, random musings on existence, much like anyone else's. But then, Cabela & Schmitt Project's unique gift comes into play. These thoughts and feelings are transformed into melodies, the chaos turns into order, and words form verses.

More than just songwriting, the artists' music is a means of channeling messages that they share with their audiences. Driven by a passion for making music, Cabela & Schmitt are pursuing their lifelong venture.

The most rewarding aspect of their music, however, is the continuous praise and feedback that they receive from fans, touched by the music in profound ways. Drawing inspiration from icons such as The Beatles and The Eagles, the trio aims to paint their own unique and riveting canvas of music.

Cabela and Schmitt Music has already been met with success. One of their standout tracks, "THIS IS MY LIFE," has made its mark by charting at 53 on the Spin Tracking System Hot 100 charts

Another track, "YOU MAY NEVER KNOW," has garnered
