When Don Schneider started playing guitar at 15 years old, he quickly discovered a natural ability to play original, heartfelt licks on his twenty-five dollar Kent electric.

He played his first gig in 1977 in his home town of Medicine Hat, Alberta.  In 1982 he left “The Hat” to begin touring as a professional musician with several different heavy metal bands.  Don quickly became known for his ability to quickly fit into any band as a lead guitarist, and developed a reputation as a dependable, “hired gun” for any rock group who needed a guitarist on short notice.

In 1986 he moved to Ontario to tour with a band called Crackers, a popular rock/novelty act in the Hamilton/Burlington area, with two albums to their credit.

In 1988 Don received a diploma in Recording and Engineering, which gave his live performances added dimension because he better understood the meaning of “quality sound”.

Between 1989 and 1996 he began a heavy touring schedule in Western Canada. For fifty out of fifty-two weeks a year, he played with a band called the Lizard Brothers, a classic rock band known for their heavy Beatle’s influence.

 Don took a break from touring in 1996 and settled back into The Hat.  After a nine year hiatus, the axe beckoned, and in 2005 he formed two new duos:  The Replacement Parts and The Chameleon Brothers.  Within one year of coming out of retirement, both bands were pre-booked for a year and half. 

In the summer of 2007, Don moved to Peterborough, Ontario.  He recently joined forces with Jon Ryttersgaard, an up and coming musician with a great country vocal style.  They named their duo “Pure Hazard” and are looking forward to playing gigs in Peterborough’s thriving music scene.
