Biography

Cabela and Schmitt, known primarily for their Soft Rock creations, have taken a delightful detour to create a country album specifically for APD. This move was inspired by the numerous affiliate stations that embrace this wonderful genre.

GO COUNTRY presents 12 country rock, traditional country and country folk songs for your enjoyment. The album has been meticulously crafted over the course of a couple years, and Cabela and Schmitt are excited to share their creation with both you and your audiences.

Several of the songs have been previously released as singles and, together, they have accumulated 1,574,000 streams on Spotify to date.

THIS IS MY LIFE charted at 21 on the New Music Weekly Hot 100 earlier this year.

"Songwriters have the ability to turn life lessons and experiences into songs. For some, they write what they know while others, feel compelled to share the stories of others. Either way it is due to the romanticization of love and loss. It’s not easy to reflect your innermost thoughts on paper with pen but one songwriting team who’s putting a voice to our lives is the song writing team Cabela and Schmitt. Their songs are the compilation of all experiences in a person’s life from romance to finding your path. Cabela and Schmitt says the things that need saying and create song stories that teach lessons to generations of listeners. The music they are creating often has nostalgic elements appealing to a wide audience. They understand the power of great lyrics in telling a story and it’s through their music that people can come together and relate to each other more honestly. Cabela and Schmitt finishes out the year with a beautiful song about reflection. The song is soothing with nostalgic tones further supporting a reflective theme that infuses well with the melodic chorus and lyrical content. I enjoyed the harmonies. They have such a wonderfully pleasing tone in a chaotic world. Thankfully Cabela and Schmitt are always there bringing us music that makes us feel less alone. 'Wondering' is really all about those relationships we’ve all had with other people, that maybe we never did quite figure out or understand at the time. We all at times reflect on these past relationships and sometimes we might find ourselves still trying to make some sense out of these past unknowns. At the very least we try to take all the positives we can throughout our life relationships, and attempt to let go of as much of the negative as we possibly can, and continue to live on".
--A.V.A. Live Radio

"Hi Cabela and Schmitt. What an interesting song. A soft rock, somewhat alternative with indie, sounds great. You guys have a lot of potential, we congratulate you. We will share the song for sure. The song will be on the Groover playlist on Spotify and on our 24 hour radio for a month. We will also share it on social media.
Best regards from Colombia".

"As I stated last night on Facebook, you're the most versatile group I've ever seen. You have a GREAT message too. Much love."

"Cabela And Schmitt Finish 2019 In Style With ‘What You Say’"!
"Ending what was a spectacular year, the trio have treated us to a fantastic single entitled ‘What You Say’. A single written by the band, about the way people treat one another, how they talk to each other and how their words can either be loving, encouraging or sometimes hateful, leaves a powerful message that rings through with each and every listen. With plenty of new material coming in the new year, Cabela And Schmitt are destined to make their mark on the music industry next year".
~Dylan Smith, EDM House Network, December 29, 2019

"Known for their incredible and heartfelt writing, the band has the ability to stun an entire audience due to the vocalist voice and lyrical depth".
~Ben Ali (Keep Walking Music), April 29, 2019

"Cabela and Schmitt are worthy of a follow and as they seem to get better with every new release. We can’t wait to see and hear what’s next".

Sometimes we get so busy trying to succeed that we forget about the ones we love the most. Pouring ourselves into something, that in most cases just turns to dust after a few hard fought decades. Often we lose sight of what is important, just to see it disappear.

We can all be overwhelmed with information. We have available to us so much more information about anything and everything than we could ever possibly need. Let’s slow down and learn how to filter this information down to the smallest amount we really need. Our common subconscious goal is to make every day a better day. It has to be an effort. It simply does not happen on its own, and we have all day to get it done. So don’t let yourself get caught in the downward spiral of complaining and fearing for the future. Tomorrow can always be a better day.

Some relationships are not meant to be, in God’s eyes. Two young people seemingly in love and planning their life out as they grow together. Their plan is working, and they are in a great relationship, until things begin to get difficult. One or the other decides it is time to slow down, spend some time apart, and it often isn’t a mutual agreement. They drift apart and at some point, the relationship is finished, and they are set free. Free to learn, to live and love again.

Hoping to leave a legacy of music that will continue to resonate with people for generations to come, Cabela & Schmitt Project's music continues to manifest a profound expression of love. Blending Rock, Country, Pop, R&B, folk, Christian, and easy listening music, Cabela and Schmitt Music have released 10 albums, 3 EPs, and countless singles as part of their discography.

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 and 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 21 on the Spin Tracking System Hot 100 chart.

Another track, "YOU MAY NEVER KNOW," has garnered an impressive 1M streams on Spotify. Cabela & Schmitt Project continues to be set apart by the artists' ability to transcend genres.

Their scintillating single, "HONEY RIDE," is a delightful tale of a young couple's countryside adventure, while "DO YOU WANNA BELIEVE" explores the complexities of finding happiness amidst life's challenges.

Cabela & Schmitt Project have achieved a remarkable feat, amassing over 11.7 million streams on Spotify in 2023 alone (2.7M listeners). Stunning audiences with songs that are not just melodies but colored with layers of stories, emotions, and life itself, the artists are looking forward to producing more music, including original tracks and exciting remixes.
