About Schmeeds

Pete Schmeidhauser.
Pete Schmiedhauser

Schmeeds Music is owned and operated by Pete and Cindy Schmiedhauser. Pete is a musician with over forty years of music industry and retail experience.

Pete briefly studied bass guitar under Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Steve Morse Band, Joe Satriani) at an early age and went on to play with a variety of tri-state area cover bands such as Matriarch, the Passions, and the Kids in the 1970's and 80's.

Later, Pete became a fixture in the NYC club scene for original music, performing in such noted rooms as CBGB, Lincoln Center, and Trax; he also participated in many recording sessions during the heydey of Atlantic, A&R, Chelsea, and Howard Schwartz studios, to name a few.

Pete considers himself incredibly fortunate to have performed and recorded with such a variety of incredibly talented musicians, singers, and songwriters, and to remain connected to musicians from all skill levels on a daily basis at Schmeeds Music.

"One of my goals for Schmeeds Music is to re-create the old style music store experience...a place where musicians of all ages and backgrounds can come to hang out, play, and learn from each other," Pete says. "We need the arts now more than ever, especially in today's world where technology has taken over."

Everyone is welcome, so please stop by and say hello!
