"Headin' On South" by Greg Schneider (Country Artist from Illinois)
There's a hue of fun and entertaining Country songs on the terrific album, "Headin' On South" by Greg Schneider. This CD serves up some energetic and well written songs with clever lyrics that will make you laugh, rock out, or take you back to a soft and gentle time. Heading up this album, the first track, "Eight Pounder," is quite amusing as it is a bright and witty tune about a fishing trip and catching the "big one." The title track, "Headin' On South," is another song that is straight up infectious as the rootsy and solid vocals Schneider sings catches your attention with strong and solid clarity. Taking a more emotive tone, "Hold 'Em While You Can," is a sweet and charming story about having young children and to hold them because before you know it they've grown up way too fast. Schneider has captured all the right spirit of appetizing Country music with his stylish vocals and excellent instrumentation. So if you are a big fan of Country music, then the excellent CD "Headin' On South" would be just thing your Country soul needs to hear.

Bio
From the style of George Strait, to the party atmosphere of Eric Church!! From the smooth vocals of Josh Turner to the ROCKIN' of Kid Rock!! You've got The Greg Schneider Band!! What started out as a solo act has transformed into a full four piece band. GSB's sound is still centered around Greg's distinct vocals but by adding Carlos' thumpin' bass line, Jeff's blazing guitar solos and Jason's bad a#* beats, what you get is a band that'll get you up dancing with a rockin' cover song or bring a tear to your eye after a Greg Schneider original. Greg is an experienced singer songwriter, who recorded his first Nashville produced CD, "Headin' On South" in the summer of 2010. Some local and thousands of independent stations across the world are playing tracks from this CD. "Eight Pounder" cracked the ECMA Top 40 radio chart in 2011! Greg returned to Nashville in the Fall of 2012 to start recording for 2013 releases. His first release, "Out On The Lake" is currently on the rotation locally at X-Country 106.5, 101.7 River Country and is featured regularly on 98.3 WCCQ's "All Request Cafe"! While trying to promote Greg's original music, the band still love's covering everyone's favorites. The GSB stays current with the Top 40 hits and always finds time to play the best oldies and classics.
