He will always be remembered as the kind-hearted soul everyone knew him as. He loved to cook and he loved the blues, both of which we were fortunate enough to share with him. Michael always had a smile and a hug for whomever walked through the door. His laugh would echo through the place with such a roar you couldn’t help but join in. The warmth in his heart will be felt for years to come. He gave so much happiness to many and kept so little for himself. We deeply value the friendship we all shared and will miss him always. Our lives will never be the same. Rest in Peace dear friend.

The Kansas City based trio has been turning heads with their current album, produced by Tony Braunagel and featuring keyboardist Mike Finnigan and guitarist Johnny Lee Schell, who also acted as the sound engineer for the project. Schell played a cigar box guitar on the song “Evil Train,” which was originally written by the siblings’ father Bob Schnebelen. The recording of all original songs that for the most part were written by Danielle and Nick Schnebelen also highlights the group’s diversity, as Nick takes the lead on vocals for the upbeat and lighter Blues – Pop crossover song “The Better Life.”
