About Luke Schneider
Luke Schneider is a pedal steel guitarist based in Nashville. An Ohio native, Schneider moved to Tennessee to go to college with dreams of becoming a folk-rock stylist. His debut solo LP Altar of Harmony is a collection of ambient compositions created entirely by pedal steel. His work continues the recent experimental elevation of the pedal-steel guitar with a winsome Southern grace. “When I sit down at the pedal steel, I am trying to thread the needle of this very specific emotion, feeling, and sound,” Schneider says. “I want to pull that into the physical world.” Schneider has performed with Natural Child, Margo Price, and Orville Peck.
