"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." ~Larry "Tez" Tezekjian of Tez FM Radio, March 1, 2020
"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". ~Artist Sounds Blog, November 27, 2019

New wonders and exploration awaits you in the wide open, wild lands of Africa. A journey of unfamiliar sounds, sights and cultures to be embedded into your memory for ever.

"Around and Round" came to us as big government and big business began taking over the ways "we the people" are supposed to live, think and exist.
