CURRENT STORY



In 1999 Stephanie Schneiderman began her solo career by beating

out hundreds of aspiring singer/songwriters to win a slot on

Lilith Fair. Since then the Portland, Oregon native has released

two critically received full-length albums and has developed a

riveting band presentation that continues to evolve and bring

her national attention.



Schneiderman's 2001 release, "Unbelievably Unbroken," drew major

label attention for her versatility and chameleon-like voice (with comparisons ranging Sheryl Crow, to Jeff Buckley to Patti Griffin). The first single, "New Skin Completed," was in regular rotation on KINK (Portland's leading Triple A station) and was featured on the WB's prime time show "Jack & Jill," and was the title track for the movie "Kat and Allison." Since then Schneiderman has released a 7-song EP and is set to release a brand new record, entitled Touch Down.
