CHAPEL Sessions welcomes back Tony Furtado award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist with support from Stephanie Schneiderman on Wednesday July 19.

The award-winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, who last played the venue in 2014 , is an acknowledged master of many different styles and sounds. As Relix Magazine put it, “True talent doesn’t need categories.” From bluegrass to blues, folk to rock, banjo to slide guitar, the music of Tony Furtado knows no boundaries.

Very few musicians of any stripe so personify a musical genre as completely as Tony Furtado embodies Americana roots music. Tony is an evocative and soulful singer, a wide-ranging songwriter and a virtuoso multi-instrumentalist adept on banjo, cello-banjo, slide guitar and baritone ukulele who mixes and matches sounds and styles with the flair of a master chef.

Support act Stephanie Schneiderman is also difficult to pin down to any one genre, talent or discipline. But, whether pursuing her prolific work as a solo artist, playing drums for all star roots pop act Swan Sovereign (formerly Dirty Martini), stepping on the stage in the musical The Full Monty or producing a wildly successful humanitarian concert series for refugees in Uganda, she is one of the most diversely talented artists the Northwest US has to offer.
