Fritz Schindler Band

Fritz Schindler is a versatile, joy-filled whirlwind of musical enthusiasm. His energetic live shows combine him playing a vast array of traditional Appalachian instruments—mandolin, guitar, hammered dulcimer, bouzouki, banjo, piano, percussion—along with his versatile singing voice and some combination of terrific musicians backing him up. Frequently added into the mix are live-looping and layering techniques, combined together to make a unique and spell-binding experience he likes to call Contagious Folk ‘n’ Roll.

The talented multi-instrumentalist singer grew up in the epicenter of Appalachian heritage, Berea, KY, and is proud to now call Radford, VA his home. Fritz and his wife, Andrea, have three daughters, two dogs, and a house full of laughter, music and fur from those two doggone dogs.

Over the years, Fritz has opened for or shared the stage with many incredibly talented artists including: Jimmy Fortune, Michael Johnathon, Ted Yoder, The Afters , 7eventh Time Down, Hawk Nelson, The Vespers, Raymond & Ruth McLain, The New Coon Creek Girls, Sky Dixon, The Penny Loafers, Nevertheless, BlueTree, Ilia, Derek Minor, Aidan Broadbridge and Jason Harrod, just to name a few. Since 2014 Fritz has been touring with a full backing band, playing concerts, churches and festivals throughout the Southeast U.S. Fritz always brings his signature smile and warm enthusiasm to every stage, whether electrifying a crowd on his own or with his delightfully engaging band.

No matter your age or musical preference, within a few short minutes, Fritz Schindler will have your toes tapping, hands clapping, and before you know it, you’ll probably find yourself singing or dancing along!
