The Nick Schnebelen Band plays Bluesdays at The Village at Squaw Valley.
The only reason Schnebelen is not a household name is because it’s difficult to pronounce.
Before starting his own band, Kansas City blues guitarist Nick Schnebelen played with his family band, Trampled Under Foot, the 2008 winners of the International Blues Challenge. Schnebelen also won the Albert King Award at the IBC for best guitarist. Trampled Under Foot won the 2014 Blues Music Awards for Best Band and Best Album.
Schnebelen plays in a trio with Cliff Moore who played bass with Michael Burks and drummer Adam Hagerman, who has played with the Hadden Sayers Band, as well as Junior Watson and Big Bill Morganfield. The Nick Schnebelen Band played at last summer’s Hogs For The Cause event at Crystal Bay Casino and as an artist-at-large at the Big Blues Bender in Las Vegas.
Nick’s sister, Danielle Nicole, is doing alright on her own as well. Her second solo album released in February debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart.
